My life has changed so much since I have had my surgery. Before my surgery I was close to 400 lbs. I have 3 young kids and I was not able to play with them the way I wanted to. There was a lot of activities that I missed out on and I hated getting my pic taken because I didn't like the way I looked. So there are a lot of memories that I'm not in. Since my surgery I have lost 160lbs. and my goal is to louse another 60-80 lbs. then I will have my plastic surgery to remove my extra skin that I have. With all of my weight loos I am able to now play with my kids and chase after them. I'm still self conchies about the way I look but that is because of the extra skin I have. Before my surgery I had a lot of health problems like diabetes, back problems and many other but since my weight loos I no longer have my back problems, my diabetes has gone as well. So my life has changed so much I now fell like I am the Mommy and wife I should be ans can be. If you are on the fence about having your surgery all I can say is give it a chance it changed my life and it can change yours. if I didn't have my surgery I don't know where I would be today but I'm so thank full for the Surgeons and medical team that they did this for me and it has changed my life forever.
