I've always been overweight, for as long as I can ever remember, i was the chubby one. At age 13 I was about 150lbs and 16 about 180lbs. I always used food as a source of comfort though all the mishaps in my life. My weight always bothered me, but noone else would have known it. I was the bubbly chubby girl who always had a smile on her face, always looked like she exuded confidence, and always got the guy. On the inside I was miserable. I had to be so happy and fun and nice because I was so fat. After meeting my husband and getting married I got comfortable with the fact that he loved me for me and i didn't need to put on the face of fake confidence any longer. my husband started wondering who he married. During my pregnancy i had complications due to my weight and eating habbits and ended up having to have my baby 5 weeks early. I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy that i could not get off. We want to have more babies but I refused to get pregnant again without loosing at least 75lbs. i gave myself until this fall, and instead of loosing, i gained, like always. My husband and i discussed the surgery, we decided the lap band would be the best for me and we met with the surgeon. He did not reccomend the lap band because of the amount of weight i had to loose, so after careful consideration we decided to go ahead with the lap RNY. My surgery date is Nov 7th at the Cleveland Clinic and i couldn't be more excited to get on with my life!!!!!
