Well I am excited in 5 days I am getting my gastric bypass surgery..May 22, 07  It has been a long hall I started trying to get it over 3 years ago when my insurance did not cover it  but with no success and in January of this year through my employer they finally started to cover it Praise God!  Being heave for me has been a life long struggle with a maximum weight of 410. All I can tell you every joint in my body hurts, my back is in chronic pain, my knees and feet  can barely get me around and the thing I want to remember when I am thinner is all the pain I am in now and how miserable I am right at this very moment and have been for many many years /decades of my life so I will never want to be heavy again and return to my old eating habits. I say this because I know even though I am having this surgery I know you can fall back to old bad habits and gain weight back so I want to be reminded on a daily basis of just how important this surgery is for the best quality of life I can have and that through this surgery I will be able to fulfill many things I have not been able to do the past 25 years of my life . I want to be a strong women who can laugh and play with her children and grandchildren , help with mission work, learn to fly a plane, dance,  and on and on my list goes... Well, the rest will be written later as I go on so to be continued ........
