Married, mother of 2 ( 14 yr old boy & 8 yr old girl). I was a studio/school/portrait photographer for 10 yrs. I was very much so enjoying my life when my back finally gave out. After that it became 1 problem/diagnosis after another. Over the years I became more and more depressed, added a lot of medications to my regiment, gained a good bit of weight, consistently struggled through my marriage and being a good mother to my children. Needless to say I've been sad and hopeless for many years now. In June 2013 I finally gave up the idea of working and started receiving disability. Over the years I've attempted to diet and exercise with no real success. My medications rule my body, I've been fighting a losing battle, Until now. After a 4-5 month long grueling process with BC/BS I finally was able to have my Gastric Sleeve Surgery.
