I've struggled with my weight for most of my life. About 7 years ago I had to be medicated for high blood pressure. I was only 26 and this was a real wake up call. Like most people I have tried many diets, but the inevitable thing always happens........I give up! Well now I'm taking total control of my life! My kids are more self sufficient now and it's time to take care of me so I can be there when they start their own families. I have a lot of support from family, friends and coworkers which I'm so thankful for. Starting this process I have also found out I have severe sleep apnea. That's very scary stuff! My surgeon is terrific and so is everyone else at the hospital. My surgery date is right around the corner, February 20th. Everyone asks if I'm nervous, but honestly I'm more excited than anything!
