Hello, I am very new to all of this. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, I don't ever remember a time where I was "Skinny". I remember trying to diet and lose weight at 10 years old. I have done every diet there is to think of, everything from Atkins diet to starving myself. Sometimes I'd lose weight but most of the time I'd put it right back on. I had my son May 12' and during my pregnancy I lost 20lbs. I felt great after having my little boy and in less than 3 months I had put on 25lbs. I knew I had to do something to change. I read up on the internet where the gastric bypass WASN'T a death sentence! I couldn't believe it. My family had always told me that most people don't make it out of the surgery, and I believed them! Shows how nieve I was! I did a lot of research about this surgery and talked to a few friends who had already gotten this surgery and had tramendous results from it. I had decided that I am doing this for myself and my son. So far during this process I have had a lot of negative comments, people telling me horror stories & flat out telling me not to get this surgery. Thankfully I have a mom that supports me in any decision I have made. I had so much discouragment that the day of my seminar I almost didn't go. But I am happy to say that I DID go and I am ready to get this process started to become a healthier, happier me! (: I hope to meet a lot of people on here!(:
