I have always been overweight but I never really thought about it until after high school.
I always had this image of myself, being that I was smart, talented, and cute 
I kept telling myslef, it's o.k. When I got pregnant with my son in 2000, I realized my weight would be a bigger problem. I gained 55 lbs in seven months leaving me at 280 lbs. 
I tried many things to loose weight and it worked but I always quit after 10-20 lbs.or so. In 2005 I got pregnant again while taking Xenical (prescription weight loss pills)and exercising under doctor supervision. I knew I would be huge and was terrified 
of not only the weight gain but also the complications of being an obese pregnant woman. I topped out at 360 lbs. after having my beatiful baby girl and ever since then life has been so different and almost impossible to exercise not to mention all the health problems that I have had within the past two years.
I have had a c-section with my second child which was my only previous surgical experience, it went well and I figure that WLS will be just as necessary, for my health, especially my kids. I am more than confident that I will be successful in my weight loss after the procedure. I am a bit nervous but I just want to get it over with and finally let everyone else see the same person on the outside that I already know is on the inside.
