I can't believe I'm already to this point in the process...I first saw my surgeon in April 2011...

Let me tell you all a little story about me. I have a miracle child. His story went viral in Feb. 2011. Our local news station has been following him and has done 4 segments on him so far.

As I said it went viral. Fox news picked it up first, then AOL news, then it hit papers in London...as you can imagine, I was reading all the comments (good and bad) and LOTS of them.

Someone posted the story on Youtube...the top comment was...are you ready for this? (I'll post his story after this and you'll understand that most of the comments was how amazing he is...how cute he is...what a "nice" family we are, lol).

The top comment on youtube was:

"His parents are so f*cking fat."

That was it. I was like, THAT is what you took away from the story??????

I started gaining weight in 2006 when my son Trey lived for only 6 weeks because of heart disease. Then with Chase added to the mix, well, I deserved oreos. I knew I was gaining fast, but craved comfort.

Hence, my running to the Lapband surgeon, lol. Now I'll show you the two most recent stories...I'm 30 pounds lighter and wish I could slap the a$$ that commented on the story so rudely.

food.

I just wanted to share.

Thank you for letting me vent!!!

You have been through so much and your strength and focus has understandably been on your children. You have now realised that to be the best you can be for your family you need to look after yourself too - something that a lot of parents forget.

Good luck in achieving your weight loss goals and healthier self and all the best wishes for your son.

Amazing story. Good for you! I'm also from Western NY by the way!

Heather-

Some people may think your son is the one to feel bad for but it is those people with the insensitive remarks to feel sorry for. Your son, has love and support and so many prayers going for him. Those people well...hell can be a terrible place for sure. God speed to you little hero.
