I have fought the weight battle for years. However, while I was active duty Navy it came a little easier........until I had my son. Then all of the work that I had done to keep the weight to a simi healthy level was gone. I gained 65lbs with him and never lost it. Then I had my second son and did not gain any but did not lose any either. For the next four years it was a battle I could not win. I tried diets, gyms and it just did not help. Then I looked into the surgury option.
Due to insurance requirements I knew I would have to pay for this strickly out of pocket. After research and talking it over with my husband we decided I would have it done in Mexico. I found a wonderful doctor and we alone to have it done. I left on Monday and came home on Thursday (Washington DC to San Diego CA). This was in July 2007. Now it is Oct 2007 and I have went from 209 to 174 and from a BMI of 36 to 29. I am ready for my first ajustment and hoping to be able to make that happen in early Dec 2007.
