Tammy-Jo M.
After years of sitting on the fence, I just started seriously considering weight loss surgery in September 2009. I was never skinny, maybe average throughout High School and College. I gained weight in my early 20's. My weight has been up and down for years. My highest recorded weight was 279lbs, when i joined weight watchers in 2003. I lost 25lbs at weight watchers ...then gained it back. I lost 43lbs at Jenny Craig ...then gained most of it back. I have been going to Tops for years, and I am getting used to saying, "My name is Tammy and I am up".
September 2009 met with GP to discuss surgery. My doctor wanted me to save up for Lap Band...but filled out OOC application at my request.
October 6th went for Consult at Barix in Michigan, meet with Dr.Taylor weight 266
October 8th mailed OOC forms.
November 17 recieved OOC approval.

Dec 9 had surgery.....had reaction to Morphine. Weight 252
Dec 11 went home from hospital Weight 268 Very swollen and bloated from IV
