WELL MY NAME IS CRYTAL I AM 28 YRS OLD, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN 5 & 9 AND A WONDERFUL HUSBAND. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT STARTING WHEN I WAS IN THE 3RD GRADE I GOT TEASED ALOTE AND I BEGAN TO LOSE IT WHEN I WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE, I STAYED THIN UNTIL I WAS 19 AND GOT PREGNANT WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I GAINED 70 IBS WITH HER AND THEN 1 YR LATER I LOST THAT DIETING AND WORKING OUT, THREE YRS LATER I HAD MY SON AND GAINED 50IBS WITH HIM AND I HAVE NOT LOST THAT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AND FINALLY I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC TO HELP MYSELF THATS WHEN I WENT TO THE OPTIONS PROGRAM THROUGH KAISER, I GRADUATED FROM THAT AND I MET WITH MY SURGEN AND MY SURGURY IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY THE 19TH OF JULY........

OK I AM REALLY EXCITED BUT FEARSLY SCARED LET ME REMIND YOU I HAVE TWO KIDS AND A HUSBAND THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE LEAVING BEHIND IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME, BUTTTTTT I HAVE FAITH AND BELEIVE IN GOD AND I KNOW IT WILL ALL BE OK. REASON FOR SURGURY IS ALL OF THE ABOVE BUT MEDICALLY THERE ARE REASONS AS WELL, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH POLYSCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROM IF I DONT LOSE 50+ IBS I COULD DEVELOP CYSTS ON MY OVARIES, AND I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTERAL AND BORDER TILTING DIABETIES. SO THE SURGURY US A WONDERFUL CURE FOR ALL OF THOSE AND THATS WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO.

AFTER MY SURGURY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE AND PLAYING MORE WITH MY KIDS, NOT HAVING BACK PAIN AND BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY RUN AND JUMP WITH OUT DYING LOL. AS OF NOW I WEIGH 257IBS I AM 5"9 AND I GUESS THATS IT FOR NOW I WILL KEEP MY WEIGHT AND LOGS POSTED.
