I have been over weight since i was 14 years old. I have tried everything to lose weight and until recently thought I had lost the war. I have been doing my homework on WLS for the last 5 years and until recently I was too scared to look into it seriously.
I have seen my Aunt struggle with weight all through my childhood and finally she decieded to have the RNY done. Thouugh she still struggles with some personal complications she is happy that she has done it.
As I was sitting one day loathing myself in the mirror (an everyday event) I though about my aunt and how she transformed. I also though about 2 of my coworkers from when I worked at the local community college who transformed not only their bodies but their lives because of their surgeries. I realized that if I want to really live I need to do something.
I started by talking to some people I know about the process and they sent me here to OH. I was scptical at fiirst not knowing what to expect; so i started with www.bariatricedge.com this page told me a lot of very informative things about the processes. It also directed me to my first seminar. The seminar was informational but nothing i hadn't read before. That's when i started to try and find a surgeon. Thanks to the help of many people i believe I have found the surgeon now it's a waiting game to see what my insurance will cover.
That brings us to now. Follow the Blog to see what is going on.
