I have always been active. I never had a problem with weight growing up. In 1998, I had two miscarriages. With the second one, I had swelled up like a balloon. I didn't lose the weight from that event. My way of remembering my babies, was keeping the weight. I didn't want to forget. My husband had also left me, so I didn't see any reason to lose the weight. I went through a time of depression. I kept gaining weight. I have tried to lose the weight since then, but was not successful. In 2005, while trying another "system" for weight loss, I was journaling. Through writing in my journal I discovered that I was subconsciously holding on to the weight to "memorialize" my babies. I began on a journey to deal with my grief.
Since I had tried just about everything on the market and knew I could "cheat", I began to look at WLS. I wasn't sure which one to have until I went to the seminar. I knew I needed something that would keep me "honest". Dr. Nicholson was so informative. I learned more in the seminar than I had learned through online research. I knew that gastric bypass was the option for me. I spoke to all of my doctors and inquired about their opinion. They were all supportive. I began on my journey to receive a surgery date.
