Hi y'all! My name is Amber. I have been over weight for as long as I can remember. I have tried every diet imaginable and have failed. Diabetes runs in my family, and I am pre-diabetic. I want to be healthy and watch my niece and nephew grow up. I don't want to walk around and be out of breath within the first 2 feet. I want my joints to be pain free. I want to be able to run and play with the kids and not have to sit out because I can't keep up.
I know these are a lot of wants, but I am tired of being over weight. I finally took a step in the right direction...I am going to an info session on the 19th of April. I am excited and nervouse and ready for a change all rolled into one.
I have heard a lot of different things about WLS...some good and some bad. I have had some really close friends have it done, and they have done wonderful on it. I guess since I am a newbie, I am bound to be scared.
Anyways...that's my rant/intro for now. Thank you for the great info on this site...I look forward to learning a lot between now and the time I take the plunge!!
God Bless and best of luck to everyone!!
Amber
