I'm 33 and 375 lbs... at my heaviest I weighed 445. Because of my weight my life is in limbo right now- I am disabled because of my weight and the health issues it has caused. I have ALWAYS been overweight... even as a toddler I was chunky. As it is for many... food was and still is my comfort.... my addiction. For the last couple years I have been working to fight my food addiction. I've been following a low carb diet and have already lost 70lbs, but the weight isn't coming off fast enough anymore. I want to be able to have and keep up with my own children and be a simi-young grandma when and if I am blessed with grandbabies too. I have a dream of going to school for cosmetology and photography too and opening up my own glamour-type portrait studio and salon. At this point I know that it's only just a dream because my weight will not allow me to be on my feet for very long periods of time. I have a wonderful husband who supports me in all that I do and he too is also considering having WLS too but his insurance will not cover it at this time... so maybe if I am able to have the surgery and can get back into the work force he'll be able to have it also.
If anyone would like to add me as a friend and/or share your stories or surgeon recommendations with me please feel free.... I'd love the input. =)
