Hi my name is Grace and I am 25 years old. I am the mother of 4 beautiful children... 2 of which are band babies! I had my Pre-op in January 2010 with my mother. Her and I decided to do this together. I weighed in at 359 in January! Over the summer I lost 30lbs and then had my surgery on October 25, 2010. I was doing good continued to lose another 15lbs met the love of my life fell in love and bc of a failure with my mirena placement I became pregnant with my third child! She was born a year and 2 days after my band placement! I then lost another 10lbs and was doing great was down to 290lbs and in July of 2012 I found out I was pregnant with my fourth and final child (this one planned). I had her in March of this year and I weighed in at 317lbs two days before her delivery! I have been working my butt off (literally) since then.. Joined a gym went back on my 1200 calorie diet and basically decided that I need to work at this! Got my band adjusted in April and have since lost 22 lbs in a month!! This is something I truly want just didn't know how much it meant to me til I turned 25 and looked at my babies and thought I NEED to be here for their lives, my future grandchildren a lives and my fiancés life! Well that's just a little about me!! Hope to read a lot more stories and make some new friends who know what I'm going through!
