Topic: Welcome/Introductions
My name is Laura and I am hoping to help get the Katy Krew back up and running.  If anyone wants to be the "leader", please let me know!!  Until then, I will appoint myself...lol.

A little about myself, I am a single mom to two of the best little girls in the world.  Katie, age 7, was born in Kazakhstan.  I adopted her in 2004.  Sarah is 5 and was born in China.  I adopted her in 2007.  I knew I had to be the best mom for them so I had to start taking care of myself.

I had seriously contemplated weight loss surgery for years, but it terrified me.  When the series "Big Medicine" began, it made me decide to just do it.  I went to my initial seminar with Dr. Davis in November 2007.  I did all the required stuff, including a six month diet, and had RNY surgery in September 2008.

My highest recorded weight was 339 lbs (my actual highest ever weight was probably higher).  When I had my pre-op appointment, I weighed 311 lbs.  I now weigh 135 pounds.  I have had no complications associated with my surgery and would do it again in a heartbeat.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!!
