My story

Oct 24, 2012

This is me on my Wedding day September 15th 2012. 

I have been overweight all of my life, when I was young it was just a little plump for my age, then puberty hit!  My twin sister and I began eating my parents out of house and home.  When I think back on those days it amazes me that we were able to fit that much food into our early teen bodies.  From there both of us just ballooned.  Today I weight 265lbs, a weight I never in a million years imagined that I would ever get to.  Alas here I am.

Like anyone else who struggles with their weight I have been on every diet imaginable.  Believe it or not I even tried eating well and excercising!  I have limited success and then i end up bigger than when I started dieting.  This yo-yo has to stop.  So far I have no co-morbidities, my blood pressure is good, no diebeties, or heart problems.  So I want to take perminant control of this problem before those problems start to creep up on me.

My twin sister started this journey about 6 months ago and is looking like her operation will be late this year.  I would have liked to be at the same point as her by now but I had to quit smoking and be smoke free for 6 months.  I am now smoke free and ready to start the process. 

Step 1 make a dr's apt and get a referrial.
