Hoookay...a brief description of me...
I am 35 years old, about five foot six inches tall, shoulder length, naturally curly, brown hair. I have hazel green eyes and a decently tanned skin tone. I also am very overweight. Back about oh I dunno..20 years ago I wasn't that big. I was only about 15 years old but I had the potential to be overweight. Didnt take long to get there either heh. After one kid..well it jes came on me like overnight. Not until the wonderful world of bypass surgery came along did I finally discover a way to fix the weight problem I had been having throughout my twenties.
Thanks to Dr. Burkland in FWB, I was able to discover Dr. Balliro in Tallahassee Florida who was able to perform the procedure that has been growing in popularity at a rapid rate. About a year ago I underwent Gastric Bypass Surgery. Best thing I have ever done in my entire life!!
At the time of my surgery, I weighed in at (are you ready for this??) 384 pounds!!! OH MY GAWD!! I was about to die. I knew it..I felt it every day. I couldnt walk without gasping for breath. I couldnt stand for more than a minute or two without severe pain in my back. I couldnt do ANYthing but eat and eat and eat..well I could bitch which I still do pretty well in spite of the surgery and massive weight loss I have gone through ;o)
Since the day of my surgery I have lost an astounding 125 pounds (and counting!!) As I said..it was the best thing I have ever done for myself in all my 35 years!!
Having given you a bit of a background on what I looked like a year ago..allow me to show you the before and after shots. Keep in mind that my losing is far from over..however my goal weight is gradually becoming a reality to me.
Who do I thank for this blessing? Why God of course ;o) I thank Him every day for giving me the opportunity to have this done as it has truly changed my whole life. I feel better about the person I am thanks to the changes that have come from this weight loss.
And there ya has it..now you can see the difference ;o)
