[kailie 238]

On a July 15th 2013 I walked into my hospital, shaking and scared and almost changed my mind. I cried and sobbed and 2 nurses held my hand and assured me that this was the right choice for me. That I had come too far to give up now! The date of my surgery I weighed 343 lbs. My highest weight was 350. Today I weigh 199 lbs!! Woooohooooo I am so happy to be able to run and play with my 2 beautiful children and to finally be comfortable in my own skin again!!

I remember it like just yesterday! I felt like death until almost 8 weeks post op. I thought it was the worst choice I had ever made. And then by 10 weeks post op I had more energy and the weight was just melting off. I was able to start adding more options into my diet... and then I realized that this was the best choice I had ever made. It's hard especially the first few months post op. But so so so worth it!
