Hello, and Welcome to my Story!
I had been overweight for most of my adult life, but not obese until after I had a 
series of steroid injections.  I gained 100lbs in one month after my steroid injections, 
and when my husband was deployed overseas, I saw a show on Gastric Bypass on Lifetime
and decided this is the answer.  I had almost died from the steroid overdose and faught back
and lived, and now had a huge amount of weight to contend with as well as diabetes and 
sleep apnea and a host of other things.  Gastric Bypass has changed my life for the better 
in so many ways!!  

Even though I am facing a surgery for an intestinal blockage, and an enlarged bile duct,
I am happy with my results and look forward to the rest of my life living in a normal body.
