Hi everyone, my name is Melissa. I'm newly married to a wonderful man and we have a combined total of 4 kids. My battle with my weight started when I started puberty (around 8yoa, I started early). Prior to that I was skinny, the biggest thing on my body was my head, lol. Well as the years passed and I progressed into adulthood, I remained roughly around 155lbs sz14. While I was pregnant with my son, I gained 24lbs. After I had him, I went thru a lot of drama with his dad and lost not only my pregnancy weight, but I dropped from a sz16 to a sz6. Fastfoward 1yr+ and I'm pregnant again with my daughter (pre-preg wt 130). Pregnant with her I gained 62lbs. (she was 9lbs 3oz). I have been unable to get that weight off. I've decided that it is time that I start my research again into WLS and pray that I make the right decision. I hope that I can find that extra support here. Reading the triumphs and trials of other wonderful women that have gone thru the things and have had the thoughts that I'm having right now is a tremendous help. I love to ask questions, for I don't want to be unprepared. I look forward to gaining more knowledge and being among wonderful group of men and women.
