Hi my name is Rachael..

I've struggled with weight ever since I was little. My heaviest was 375. My lowest was180.. when I got married I was a size 18.. now 5 years later with 3 kiddos I was tired of the ups and downs.. my husband had a procedure done in July. They weighed him I was 100 lbs heavier than him that was my breaking point.. I'm done with all the once a month dietation. Everything got submitted in to the insurance company. Now I'm waiting to hear back from them..

Congratulations on your decision! You're starting an amazing journey. I'm 10 months out today and am thrilled with my progress. I've gone from a size 24 to a 12, but I'm hoping for an 8 before I finish losing.

Thank you!!!

Great to hear how well ur doing, I just got my surgery date April 4th. It's great u have a husband who went through it . Best support system

Sometimes the breaking point makes us move forward to go through. My reasons are different but I'm about 100 pounds heavier than my husband now too. I've always known I was heavier but goodness, now that I'm writing it out, it feels so awful knowing it. I can totally sympathize with you!!!! Anyhow, congrats on moving forward and taking care of yourself hon. I'm excited for you. ??
