Hello to my fellow Bariatric Friends, My name is Julie(Jewels) and I will be having Gastric Bypass Surgery on June 9. I have been overweight most of my adolescent life. I wish I could go back to those high school years when I was just the right size, but reality is there is no going back. These past 2 1/2 years is where I've gained most of my weight. I'm tired of being the way I am. Yes, Im a bubbly person, always will show you a smile and probably may seem to have it all together but on the inside, Im hurting, frustrated, depressed and just finally sick of how I look. I know that God made me a beautiful person inside and out, but it's time to actually see it on the outside. Going to my doctor's last Aug, 07 was the best thing for me, He referred me to the Options program at Kaiser in Downey, where I became a member of "Track 28"-woo hoo!!. There I met a wonderful group of ladies that went through some of the same things I did and no longer did I feel alone! I am looking forward to my surgery and ready to continue on my journey of successful weight loss. Will keep in touch!! take care & god bless!!
