I remember when I first noticed I was fat. It was fourth grade, our new teacher made us take pictures for her welcome back board outside.  When I was 12 a botched tonsillectomy caused me to hemorrhage and need another surgery. I became addicted to food as a comfort for anxiety. I kept getting bigger. By the time I was in jr high I weighed 235 lbs....I was 13. Years after due to rejection, anxiety, depression, and the meds for depression I ballooned up to 307. I had just had a baby after tubal ligation failure, id lost my mom, and my sister was in remission from stage 3 breast cancer. I looked in the mirror and decided to go to a bariatric surgeon for a consultation. 
 
I did......and six months later I'm four days post op.
