AmandaND

Thank you all for the welcomes!! I was so anxious to post yesterday but it took till today for me to be able to!! I have 2 aunts and a sister who have all had the surgery, so I have seen them go through it. Because of that i have not been scared at all...until i actually got the date...then i started to feel a little "off" . I can't wait to be healthy again and to not feel like i can only take a head shot photo. I have only been heavy for about 6 yrs, but that seems like a lifetime now. I have an 8 yr old daughter that was almost killed due to Shaken Baby Syndrome 7 yrs ago..and after that i just became very depressed and I ballooned out!! But it is time now for me to take care of myself and get this problem under control. I am so happy to have people who understand to talk to!!!
