My Triumphs and Downfalls My New Way Of Life

The Begining

To start my name is Allicia I am 22 years old, I am a mother of a beautifully perfect little girl. I am engaged to a wonderful and supportive man who has always stuck by me and is going to assist me in this journey. I have struggled for 20 years with my weight trying diet after diet I kept having the same results lose a little gain ALOT. Up until 4 months ago I had just given up and figured I've lived this long being 300+ pounds whatever. Then I stepped on the scale I was 320pounds I was back and determined to try again one last haul for the long road. I did a "lifestyle change" I ate really healthy, drank my 64 oz of water, and excercised a few times a week. After 2 months I weighted myself and I gained 15 pounds I was crushed I broke down crying thinking what is going on I am doing everything I am supposed to. I became depressed and didn't have much intrest in losing the weight until I realized my serious problem PORTION CONTROL! No matter what diet I was on my portions were still huge because I never felt full. I researched gastric bypass (my mother had that done not a pretty outcome) and found the Lap Band once I made myself informed on the procedure/before appointments and the life I would have to have after surgery I made up my mind. I was going to do something smart for myself and my family and get the tool I needed to succeed. I have now gotten my refferal from my PCP to see the surgeon, and I have collected all information from my insurance company on coverage i.e all I need to give them is referals from my PCP and my Surgeon and they are going to cover the before care, the surgery, post care and adjustments! I am thankful this process has been easy, I feel bad for those who have to fight tooth and nail to get insurance coverage or a doctor who is as willing to help me in this process. I hope that things continue to move slowly, right now I am focusing on my plan and getting my appointments scheduled. I hope to use this blog as my accountability resource, and continue to share my experience even if no one will read this it will help me remember the journey from begining to the end.
