I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT MOST OF MY LIFE:( AND MY HEALTH WAS BAD. I WAS ON MEDICATION FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND DIABETES FOR NUMEROUS YEARS. IN MAY 2012 I WAS IN HOSPITAL AND MY GALL BLADDER WAS REMOVED AND MY SURGEON FOUND THAT I HAD NASH( FROM A VERY FATTY LIVER). HE RECOMMENDED THAT I GO TALK TO DOCTORS ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY BECAUSE I NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT QUICKLY SO MY LIVER WOULD NOT GET WORSE:( AFTER LOTS OF RESEARCH AND QUESTIONS I DECIDED THAT I WOULD DO WHAT WAS BEST FOR ME. I HAD SURGERY ON 1/29/13 AND IT'S THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. I AM COMPLETELY OFF ALL MY MEDICATION AND I FEEL AMAZING. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMPLICATIONS AND I HAVE MY DAYS WHERE I THINK OF ALL THE WRONG FOODS BUT ALL I HAVE TO DO IS REMIND MYSELF OF HOW WELL I AM DOING AND FEEL AND I WILL NOT GET OFF TRACK. MY GREATEST REWARD IS BEING ABLE TO PLAY WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND KNOWING THAT I AM DOING ALL I CAN TO BE AROUND A LONG TIME FOR MY FAMILY. I STILL LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND CANNOT BELIEVE I'M LOSING WEIGHT.
