About Me

. .
..THIS IS MY JOURNEY!! COME ALONG!! READ MY BLOGS!!My name is Heather. I am 350 pounds. I have always been a healthy over-weight person. Until now.I am blessed to work for a company that carries UHC insurance! I will be able to get the Lap-Band surgery for nearly free.I first thought about having the Lap-Band surgery about 3 years ago. I have struggled with the thought of it.... Many questions entered my mind...Am I taking the easy way out? Is it the right thing to do? Is it the Christian thing to do? After all, Phillipians 4:13 says... I can do ALL things through Christ which strengtheneth me. You heard it...ALL things... well, I have prayed about this and others have prayed for me. My husband supports me as well.That brings be to my husband... I have a WONDERFUL husband. He supports me being just as I am and supports me to have this surgery. Neither of us want me to get skinny. I will be so happy to be a size 16 again. That will be HALF of me!!! WOW!!! His only concerns are that 1. Since I enjoy eating so much, that I am going to get angry not being able to eat...thus becomming a grouch, to put it nicely.... 2. Getting too skinny. 3. The sagging skin!!!!!!!!!!!!I talked to the doctor about the sagging skin!!! He said since I am only 33 that is a plus. He also said the loose skin is a genetic thing. He said he has patients that were over 400 pounds and their skin is great and he has patients that were 200 and they have sagging skin. Luckily, I have some pretty tight skin.Read more in my BLOG....STEP BY STEP!!!!.. ..
