Hello Everyone my name is Jody and I am 35 years old and married for 10 years this September. My story is typical....I fell in love and got fat...not to mention a family issue here and there! As time went on I guess I would just deal with things by stuffing it down and putting on a happy face even though I was so sad inside. Believe it or not I was very active in high school and was in cheerleading since junior high. I met my hubby senior year and it has been all downhill from there (as far as the weight goes). He is very supportive and loves me no matter what size I am, but for me I have had enough. I think I have tried everything, but the weight always comes back and then some. It has affected my fertility and I found out that I have PCOS. I had one miscarriage in 2000, but no luck after that. I went through years of infertility treatments and gained so much weight with all of those meds. Finally I just said I can't do this anymore; I was turning into a basket case. Hubby and I decided to adopt and we are in the process of that right now and that so exciting!!!
I have thought about gastric bypass for some time now. I have five family members on my dad's side of the family that have had this done. Their transformations are incredible. I guess I wanted to see how they would do and does it really work before I made a serious effort for GBS. So, I went to my informational session last week on 4/23 and yes I am starting the process. I can't keep going like this and I know that there is a lot of work to be done, but I can't wait for this wonderful journey to begin.
