Well where to start, I'm a single mom of 2 kids ages 7 and 2, I never had weight issues until i was in my early 20's and since then I had developed hypothyroidism and other medical issues that made me gain over 140lbs over the years. As a single mom raising 2 small kids 100% on my own, it hasn't been easy to lose weight for me but I knew I had to do something about it cause my kids require lots of energy from me than i could given them. So I had to think of myself for once and decided to do something about it. I didn't want to be an embarrassment to my kids everywhere we went. So I got the $$ together and I booked my surgery and at first i thought it was to good to be true that it would work for me, and now i'm so glad i had it done. I feel so great and I feel like I got my life back and my health, not to mention lots of compliments from ppl raving about how good i feel. I feel like a new person with lots of energy all the time and I'm no longer on hypothyroid medication. i'm still about 40lbs away from my goal but I couldn't be happier with the way my life has been going for me.
