I have always been overweight, all the way through school, and college.  I am tired of my thighs rubbing together and had the inspiration from a collegue to go and have a consultation.  I didn't think that I would be able to have the surgery until I called.  I didn't think I was 'heavy' enough according to my insurance.  But low and behold, I fit the criteria.  I weighed 237 at my heaviest and at my pre admission testing I was at 215.  The day I went in for surgery I weighed 206, (after my liquid diet and laxitives for a day).  I went in for surgery and came out, and I am so happy that I did this.  I am super excited for the new life waiting for me.  I have always wanted to be a healthy young woman, and now with the tool that I have inside my body I will be that!  I don't want to be huffing and puffing when I run up the stairs, I want to be the girl saying, "that's it?"  I have already started my new life with the support of my loving husband, son, family, and friends.  :)  I thank God for them every day!!!
