I am 28 yrs old and have been battling with my weight since I was probably 16 yrs. I was always bigger than my classmates, but never thought I was "fat". When I got to highschool the realization came into effect and I knew I was fat, but I "held it well". That was what I thought. Then I met my boyfrield Lorne, who saw my inner beauty, and have been together ever since. It will be 12 yrs in Nov. I always knew I was a big girl, just never thought I was obese until around 4 yrs ago when I got on the scale and realized I was over 250lbs. I have did some dieting before just here and there, but after seening that number I decided to start to change my life. I did the usual, weight watchers, I tried counting calories, the no Carb diet etc. I then had my son in Sept 2006 and I crept up to a weight of close to 320 I believe and I was dumb founded. I cried and cried. I didtn know what to do. After I had Seth(who I love to death, he is my world) I dropped about 30lbs, and was starting to feel good about myself and then i started right back up the weight ladder again. So I looked into Herbal Magic. I started that the end of Feb 07 and lost about 40lbs ish. But the only thing with that was my bank accound was getting a kick in the ass. Then march of 08 I decided I cant keep spending all the money I am on this so I had to stop. I was good for a month and noticed the weight was started to come back on. In the back of my mind I was researching weight loss surgery for a while and said I need to do something or Im not going to see my son grow up or have a good life with him cause I wont be able to do all the things I would love to do.
So last month I made that step and decided to get the ball going....I sent my information in to the Barix Clinic in MI and not even 24 hours later I got a call asking if I would like to come in for a consult. I booked it for June 27 and I now feel like I am ready to do this.
