A Little About MeHi, my name is Beth. I'm a 52 year old mother of 3 daughters and have been happily married since May 1980. I'm an RN at a large local medical center and have worked in their Burn Center since graduation from Nursing School in 1977. I have struggled with my weight issues since I was a young child. I first started putting on weight at the age of 8. I remained over weight for pretty much the rest of my life, with only brief times where I was able to maintain a normal weight, the longest time being the 3 years I was in college. I, like so many others, attempted to lose weight. I went to Weight Watchers more times than I can remember. I always was successful at losing weight but even after a 75 pound weight loss I would put it back on, with at least 25 additional pounds. |

A little about me: my name is Bridget, I am 5'11", and the time of surgery I was 298 pounds. I am a divorced mom with 2 sons, who were 6 and 9 at the time of my procedure February 4, 2004. I did not do this surgery for vanity reasons; I never once thought about how fantastic my life would be as a thin person, I never daydreamed about running into an ex and having him eat his hurt out for being so mean to me when I was heavy! If you are a person whose priorities are any of the above, you are not ready for such drastic intervention as Gastric Bypass Surgery. Being thin does not make life any easier - it won’t bring you money, fame or success. It will bring on change, some for the better and some is not. |
