January 4, 2013Video: 175 Pound Weight Loss Leads To A New Family!
Weight loss surgery helped Lisa Burwell gain more than just a new lease on life – it helped her grow her family.
For Lisa Burwell, of North Canton, Ohio, weight gain became a part of her life after she got married in 1998. And for years, she tried everything to lose weight, spending several thousand dollars on diets, pills, exercise plans, and the like before deciding on surgery. Not only did weight gain physically weigh on Lisa, but it also took an emotional toll on both her marriage and her. She hated being seen in public because she felt that everyone looked at her and cast judgment based solely on her appearance. After nine years of being married to her husband, Keith, Lisa was at her heaviest – and eight sizes bigger than where she started.
“I remember the person I was when I was thinner,” Lisa explained. “I remember carefree and easygoing, get up and go, and not having any issues or problems. I wanted to be that person again.”
What Lisa wanted however, was not only to be healthy and back to her original frame, but also to have a child that she had tried to conceive for years with Keith. Lisa experienced several miscarriages over the years. Although no one said they were attributed to weight, she continued to question why they couldn’t start a family. Read full article here.
