I have always been overweight, all the way through school, and college. I am tired of my thighs rubbing together and had the inspiration from a collegue to go and have a consultation. I didn't think that I would be able to have the surgery until I called. I didn't think I was 'heavy' enough according to my insurance. But low and behold, I fit the criteria. I weighed 237 at my heaviest and at my pre admission testing I was at 215. The day I went in for surgery I weighed 206, (after my liquid diet and laxitives for a day). I went in for surgery and came out, and I am so happy that I did this. I am super excited for the new life waiting for me. I have always wanted to be a healthy young woman, and now with the tool that I have inside my body I will be that! I don't want to be huffing and puffing when I run up the stairs, I want to be the girl saying, "that's it?" I have already started my new life with the support of my loving husband, son, family, and friends. :) I thank God for them every day!!!
