The above pictures are of me in high school, sophmore and junior year.
Nicole encouraged me to start a blog about my WLS.
I am a mom of two boys, ages 3 and 2 (in June 2009). My husband and I live in Suisun and own a construction company. I am also a Passion Parties consultant and a full time Psychology major at Sac State.
I started this journey for WLS in June 2008 when I requested a referral to the bariatrics department. I weighed 265lbs.
I have always been heavy, at my lightest I was 200lbs my freshman year of high school. At 5'7" tall I was always the big girl. BUT I was active in sports and was on the Varsity diving team at Fairfield High through my Junior year.
At my highest weight, June 2007, I was 320lbs!
In August 2008, I attended the Orientation and Nutrition appointments at Kaiser Richmond.
In October 2008 I attended the Psych portion of the process
In December 2008 I attended the Surgeon appointment and was given a goal weight of 240lbs
Feb 1, 2009 I reached my goal weight
I met with the case manager in mid March 2009 at 237 lbs
Due to my extremely jammed back school schedule I couldn't get a surgery date, since finals weren't until after the 20th of May.
My surgery date is May 27th! I am super excited.
I chose RNY over the lap band because we are done having children (at least biologically) and I have about 85lbs left to lose, I'd like to lose more than 50% of that within the first year.
My ultimate weight loss goal is 150, although I worry about being too thin, I think it's a good goal to set.
Here are some pictures before my kids
Here is me after my kids (not much change since the wedding)
Here are pictures of me in March 2009
3 More weeks to go!
