    My Story

    Hello. My story begins way back when I was a young kid. I have always been overweight. And I was always made run of and looked down at because of my weight. When I was in high school I told this guy that I liked him and he looked at me and said "why would you think I would go out with you? You aren't skinny, your too fat". That really broke my heart and spirit. Until I met my now husband a few years later. We have been together for 11 years and ever since I was a senior. He loves me for me not for how I look. He's always telling me im beautiful. I have always had big breasts and its always been a burden on me emotionally and physically. So one day I met with my primary doctor to see about possibly getting the army to approve a breast reduction since its caused so many problems. Because of those problems as well as other problems like self esteem be felt that the best way to go was bariatric surgery. Fast forward 6 month to October 1, 2012 day of surgery. I lost about 15lbs before having the surgery due to program requirements. I am now a few days shy of 2 months post op and I feel great! I have lost a total of about 35lbs (20 since surgery). I went from a size 20-22 jeans to a now size 16 and still losing. I can tell im gaining some self esteem back. Im nowhere near where I want to be, but its getting there and I couldn't be happier.
