I have been struggling with the battle of weight gain all my life. I felt like the more I was told I needed to loose weight, the more I ate. It was always my drug of choice. It was my comfort when anxious, mad, sad, and aggravated! Coming from a Spanish home, eating is what we do best. It has always been hard to say no. Finally at 30 I said, enough is enough. I want to be around for as long as I can for my boys and for myself. I want to know what it feels like to be on the other side. I came to see Dr. Aguila in Jan.2011 and here I am Aug.4th, scheduled for surgery on Aug.18th. I am super excited, and nervous. My biggest challenge right now, is the two week fast. I am STRUGGLING! Wishing for the 18th to hurry up, so I can therefore start on becoming a new me.
