I started my battle with my weight when I was about 10 years old. I started gaining weight and never stopped. When I was 19 I became engaged the man of my dreams, but I wanted to look good in a wedding gown. So I decided to go on a crash diet. Crash diet wasnt the word. I literally quit eating. I would eat once a week. I did that for 3 months. Well it worked, my wedding gown is a size 10. Not long after we were married we found out we were going to have a baby. That meant I had to start eating again. Needless to say I havent seen a size 10 since then.
Right now I am the biggest that I have ever been, I have many medical problems and suffer from depression. Alot of the depression comes from not being able do many activities without it causing alot pain and shortness of breath.
I started researching WLS in 2002. I am scheduled to have the surgery August 24th.
