[indent=1][size=5][color=#800080][font=lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif][i][b]My name is Anna, I'am 24 was 23 when I decided to go through the process ing May 2012. I'am a mother of three wonderful children and its for them I have decided to take my life back and get into a healthy life style.[/b][/i][/font][/color][/size][/indent]
[indent=1][size=5][color=#800080][font=lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif][i][b]I've tried Diets, exercsing, even doctor perscribed weight loss medication as well as over the counter. I found myself at a loss and gaining even more weight then what I weighed when I gave birth to my daughter in 2008 whiche was 286. I was at a whopping 330 in January of 2012, thats the day I decdied to go and see my family doctor about the lap band. He talked me out of that and into Gastric because I would get the results I so desperately need, because at that point I was severely obese and at risk for more health problems other then my bad back. I didnt have high blood pressure or diabeties or any other problems. However my back was enough to make me realize I needed to get rid of the weight before I hurt myself. I would often joke with my friends and family and tell them Im the healthies fat person they know! lol But this is no laughing matter i cld really be in potiental danger if I got any bigger so at this point the surgery is a must! I finally got approved in october and sceaduled my surgery in the end of november.November 29th, 2012 came and I was scared to death of the journey ahead and excited and happy at the same time. Weighed in that morning at 302. My first post op appointment is tommarow & I'm feeling great. I've been on my liquid diet and tommarow I start the pureed phase of recovery! Im omw to weightloss and a healthy life! A new life wish me luck! [/b][/i][/font][/color][/size][/indent]
