my_5_kidz

I was large in high school, then my senior year I started walking everywhere I went (that's what you do when you don't have a car). I lost all the weight without knowing it, so it was 'easy', because I didn't know I was doing anything. Then I had five children, a marrage and crazy life. Next thing I knew I was 37 years old and 100 pounds overweight. In July of 2010 I decided I had to do something or I wasn't going to be around to see my grandchildren. In October 2010 I went to a seminar on weight loss surgery, met Dr. Gornichec and knew what I was going to do. I went to my first appointment on Octorber 12, 2010 and had my surgery on January 27, 2011. So far I have lost 52 pounds. I am not at my goal yet, but I am more then halfway there. I feel great! I wouldn't change anything at all. People ask me if I miss the way I used to be able to eat. I have to say, NO, no I don't. Because I get to do SO much more now. I don't just sit around waiting to die, I am out enjoying life!
