BigLupie
I have been a "big girl" since I was eight. But I really started gaining weight in the 4th grade. It helps being tall, I am now 6 feet. I developed Systemic Lupus over time but it didn't really show(and I didn't get diagnosed) until my freshman year of college. It has been 10 years and multiple meds that made it more and more difficult to lose the weight and keep it off. I am now 300lbs and I'm ready to be the healthiest Lupie that I can be. I'm tired of the weight and sick of my disease. At least I can do something about the weight.
My mother had her RNY 4 years ago and she looks fabulous. She has been my biggest supporter and my own personal live-in "help desk". Anytime I have a doubt or a question, Mom is right there to help me through it.
