Tammy V.
Married to my husband for 7 yrs. I have two daughters of my own and a great step daughter. I am a nurse and have the opportunity to work with our Vets. I have always been on the "chunky" side and just grew to accept it. Of course people commented on my weight throughout life but I never let it get to me. A few years ago I went through a divorce and lost approx 50 lbs. I gained it all back plus my weight has reached 251 lbs . Here recently I have noticed that my knees , back and feet were really starting to get to me and when I couldnt control my bladder with coughing, I knew it was time to do something about it. I attended a seminar back in November and realized that this was my opportunity for a new beginning . This is where the work began, contacting my old Dr office to get my records, finding a new Dr here in my area that would understand what i am going through and give me his blessings with a supportive letter and so on... Finally its all said and done with the insurance company and I am on my way. Feb. 11, 2008. I'll keep ya posted.
