I am here because I have realized it's time to have wls.  I was going to have it in Feb. 2009 but I chickened out, but now I am on the track to have the surgery in Feb. 2010, I am so tired of being fat and not being able to get around.  My knees are so bad that they hurt all the time, I am unable to walk very far and I feel as if I don't do this now I will be in a wheelchair soon and then bedridden.  I will admit I am scared of not the surgery but at to what to expect after the surgery, it will be a total life change and change tends to scare me, but I know I can no longer live this way, I want to feel normal.  At my highest weight was in Feb. 2009, I weighed in at 413.8 pounds, I have joined physicians weight loss to lose weight until my surgery, it is now July 2009 and I am down to 379, but I keep fluxuating, I have come to a stand still.  I feel I should attempt to lose weight before surgery to make it easier on my doctor although I am having surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and my doctor is one of the top doctors, I still want to try to help him help me.  I would like for previous wls clients to share their experiences with me and maybe help me with some products they are currently using that may help me after mine.  Well I will keep you updated on my progress and I appreciate all the comments to help me.. Thank You.
