Hello my name is Vanessa. I have not struggled all my life with weight, only since I have had my 3 Children. Starting having kids at the age of 18. Before pregnant I was 120 pounds in a size 3 at one point. Had my son in 1994 gained 100 pounds and he was 9 lbs 13 oz by c-section. Then had my 1st daughter in 1998 she was 9 lbs 5 oz. Then lastly had 2nd daughter at 35 weeks I couldnt carry her any longer they decided to take her and she was born at 10 lbs 5 oz. So now that our family is complete and I have so much stretched out skin and yes overweight in certain areas, I am contemplating what is going to be better. Went for 2 consutls today for tummy tuck. Doctors gave 2 different opinions. 1st PS said can have tummy tuck now but won't pull everything as tight as I probably imagine. 2nd PS said should loose some weight either diet, gastric or lapband. Then have a tummy tuck and breast lift were I have have the reults that I want. This means the world to me, #1 I wanna be healthy. Right now health wise I have high blood pressure ( nothing else) So I have had a friend that had thelapband and I did see her losing weight , and then gaining some back..but her life was a roller coaster so that could have effected her losing. MY cousin has the gastric and literally almost diedbut she also was not good health wise and had a hernia..so I think her situtaion was alittle different. So I am hoping to get some support on her and would love everyone's opinions.I am 100% reasy to make a change..NOW! Thanks for listening.
