[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#222222][font=Comic Sans MS][size=2]Hello! My name is Brandi I am currently 30 years old. My story goes like this.. [/size][/font][/color][/font]
[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#222222][font=Comic Sans MS][size=2]Like many people I have struggled with my weight ever since I can remember. I was teased/harassed/made fun of growing up. I feel like I have done just about every diet under the sun! I started to look into having the lap band surgery back in 2009. To make a long story short I went to about 4 seminars and 3 different places to try to have the surgery. I wasn’t approved by my insurance because I wasn’t 100 pounds overweight or had 2 co-morbidities, was one of my hurdles the second was coming up with the money. In February of this year I decided to give it another try, I thought I was all set and ready to go but, well life happened lol things that were out of my control, so in turn surgery was placed on hold (until I was in a better financial situation) Well in September I thought to myself when will I ever be in a "better" financial situation? So I called up True Results and got the ball rolling. I had my EGD on September 30, pre op appointment October 1 and surgery is scheduled for October 10 (3 days from now!) I could not be more excited! I hope that I can inspire other people on this site like I have been inspired. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. (Cliché I know, but it’s true!) My goal is to be the healthiest I have ever been and be able to say look at me now! I want to be able to walk into any store and be able to pick whatever I like off the rack, not spend hours trying to find my size or be limited on the stores I can shop at. One day I would like to have kids, I don’t want them to have to go through what I did growing up. Anyways I am starting to ramble. Thank you for reading![/size][/font][/color][/font]
