I have been obese since I was a child. At age 38, I have finally decided to do something about it. Like everyone else I have tried every diet out there, some with success and some with out. But I always end up gaining the weight back and then some. My mom had RNY three years ago and has had amazing success. She has inspired to have bariactric sugery while I am still have lots of life to live. I decided the lap band was my only hope in July and went to my seminar in August and have been slowly going through all the preop.
I just finished all my preop. I thought I was "healthy" except being obese, no high blood pressure, normal cholesterol, no diabetes, no cardiac issues. But to my surprise, I have moderate sleep apnea and have to sleep with a CPAP machine. I had no idea. This has made be more determined to get to a healthier weight.
I am anxiously awaiting to be approved by my insurance company and getting that date. Now that I have decided to have the procedure I want it done now, better yet yesterday.
I thank everyone on the site for posting and inspiring me everyday. Every night I browse the site and try to picture my self 100lbs lighter like so many of you. Much love to you all.
