Hi... this is by far the largest weight loss journey of my life.. I have always struggled with my weight . I was and am still very active. 3 yrs ago I lost 95 lbs with diet and extream excercise. Sadly I lost my mother to suicide , and with that came a whirlwind of events... losing my job, my husband leaving me and my 4 kids homless . ect ect ..and gaining 60 lbs back , so here I sit for the most part back on top. I have a wonderful job , run my own company on the side of that I am a post partum doula, my children are amazing , I am engaged to an amazing man who loves me no matter what size I am. Finally I am ready to do this for myself.. I am scheduled for the VSG on the 20th of December .. Merry Christmas to me!!! I hope to make some friends in here. I am pretty out going and an open book. My life style choices seem to mimic someone who should be a healthy size. I can't wait to see what lies ahead. ... :D
