Tina B.
Hello, I am Tina. As of 8/21/08, I weigh almost 400 lbs on a 5'10"frame. I use to jog 4-5 miles daily when I was younger and was very active. I have been married 21+ years and I am 55. No children. I have been working since I was 18 with the Government. I love my job and people I work with. We have 3 hotdogs that run our household. Since marriage in 1990, I gained a few lbs each year but in 1998 had accident and herniated 2 disc's in lower back. Had back surgery in 2000 and have gained almost 200 lbs from being inactive due to back. Surgery gave some relief but not much. Have lived in pain since so I am hoping and praying that WLS will give some relief and I can get my life back. Really no obesity in family history to speak about. I have one sister that had WLS about 3 years ago and she wished she had done it long ago. Very pleased with outcome and still going strong. I hope to do the same. I have decided to have gstric bypass RNY. I looked into lapbanding but I decided gastric bypass was the right decision for me. I look forward to conversing with my other friends on this system so please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Tina in St Augustine Florida.
