The start of my WLS Journey

I thought about having this done several months ago, but I knew there was no way my insurance would cover it, and we don't have that kind of money. Hubby and I are paying off medical bills from his 2 knee surgeries last year. So I put it on the back burner..... waaaaayyyy back. I had decided it would never happen and was starting to think I would be obese and unhealthy the rest of my life.

But my Mother approached me last month and offered my Dad's bonus from work to pay for it. Could anyone have better parents??? Mine are not rich by any means, but say that my health is something worth paying for. They are the best parents in the world!!! Just thought I would let you all know what a blessing this really is going to be for me!!

Because of this surgery I may become more fertile and able to get pregnant, and by losing the weight I will be able to run and play with my children, and not have them be embarrassed because I'm the "fat mom". I will be able to walk up a flight of stairs without being winded. I will be able to fasten my seatbelt without sucking it all in. Planes will be a breeze, as well as roller-coasters. I am looking forward to trying my hardest to use this gift I have been given, to change my life.
