Festabird 2 Posted July 9, 2012 Hi Krissy - wow you are really young to be going through this already, but it was the best thing I ever did! Where are you having your surgery? I had mine at St. Rapael's in New Haven. I have lost almost 90 lbs.!! It has been an amazing journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrissyKillstheWeight 3 Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah I know I'm really young. But I've tried to lose weight multiple times and have been overweight my whole life.. The way I see it is, I'm giving myself the best life I can. My parents have high blood pressure and diabetes. So i don't want that stuff. I don't want to go through life feeling like **** about myself.. I think this is going to help me a lot.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Festabird 2 Posted July 9, 2012 I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. My parents were both very morbidly obese and I was overweight for most of my life too. Unfortunately there was not the opportunity for this kind of thing when I was young, so had to wait till I was 54 to have, but I am very happy now. How much weight do you have to lose? They told me I would lose around 70 lbs., but I have lost almost 90 lbs. I am eight months out from my surgery and my weight loss has slowed way down. I think I am about where I am going to be now. I went from a size 20 to a size 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrissyKillstheWeight 3 Posted July 9, 2012 Lolol didn't mean to do that hard to post on my phone, I'm on my way to Disney. Im 292 now, I want to lose around 120-150.. Its going to be a whole life change, I don't want my kids to grow up with what I went through. And even my boyfriend who is chubby not obese wants to change his life.
