Hi I'm Brittany and I'm so happy to be alive :-) I've been over weight all my life and I got comfortable being that way. I never wanted to go out and do things people in their early 20s would do. Don't get me wrong I went out but I always felt all eyes were on me. I would always hear you pretty for a BIG GIRL lol I laugh now but sometimes that would hurt my feelings. I tried every diet you can think of but I would loss a little and put even more weight back on. So wnen I was 17 or 18 I read about Gastric Bypass, I told my mom about it and she wasn't so happy about me going under the knife to lose weight. I cried to her and she came around. I found a doctor and he said he would do the surgery BUT I needed to lose 100 pounds!!! I cant't believe he said that. If I could lose 100 pounds on my own I wouldn't need the surgery lol But I tried and I tried but it don't work so I didn't go back to him anymore. So I graduated from High School, became a Medical Assistant and opened a small home day care. I stay home all the time and I started packing on more weight. I couldn't take it anymore, I wasn't active and I couldn't keep up with the kids I was keeping so I closed my day care and went back to that same doctor 4 years later. He remembered me and he asked me was I ready this time and I said YES!!!! If was hard work preparing for the surgery and when I got my date I was soooo happy lol Happy isn't the word lol I was on cloud nine lol So to make along story short lol A new me was born on Feb. 7, 2007:-) I have two birthdays now lol
God Bless
