I've always struggled with my weight but after having 3 back surgeries, I gained a lot more. Due to limited ability to exercise, I've not been successful in losing and keeping any weight off. In fact...I just gain more! I have an appointment with my surgeon on Sept. 20th and I'm hoping to get a surgery date soon. I've already seen the nutritionist and psychologist and will see an endocrinologist on Sept. 17th. I'm hoping by the time I see the surgeon, all my info from the other doctors will be available and hopefully speed things up. I would love to have the surgery before the end of the year if possible. I've been researching for about 2 years and I know I'm ready to do this! Three of my nieces have had the surgery and have done very well. I just lost my Mom in May and I'm hoping focusing on the surgery and better health for me will help me work through some of my grief. I know she would be very supportive of me doing this.
