I will make this short and sweet. I was very petite my whole life, I was an active teen as well into young adulthood. I modelled. I played sports. soccer, fastball, gymnastics, I was a short distance runner. I met the love of my life when I was 23. I got Pregnant at 25 yrs old. I ate alot! i gained a huge amt of weight. 100 lbs. I was sick through pregnancy. I had my very big boy.via c-section 2 1/2 months later I found out I was pregnant again. healthier pregnancy only gaining 30 lbs. but I was over weight to start as I hadnt the chance to lose the baby weight. I had my daughter via c-section. since then I remained in a disfunctional relationship. life was not good and self esteem was at the lowest. I tried many diets, programs, pills.... nothing worked..7 years ago life changed for the better. a new career. my partner sober for 7 years. my weightloss has been non existant. yoyo diets. I recently have had 2 serious back injuries. keeping me from work and baseball, fishing, doing things that I love. keeping me from the exercise that I need. my weight has gotten way out of control. I have been thinking about surgical options for the past 2 years. this year with back injuries and not able to function with them alone has been very difficult add 260 lbs to a 5'2 frame does not work well! I have decided on Banding. I had surgery booked for September 5th/2012.. due to a moratorium, my surgery was cancelled. I have found another surgeon Dr. Amson. My first appointment is July 20/2012 so very excited to start my new life journey!
