Hello my name is Shannel and I am starting my WLS journey for the second time! I was scheduled and ready for the Gastric Bypass on July 27, 2012 BUT the hospital called me two days prior to surgery to tell me it was cancelled because my surgeon was found guilty of mal-practice! I was devastated! After all the test, appointments, money, hard work and stress my surgery was CANCELLED! ughhh sooo what I decided to do was try to lose the weight on mg own...well here we are over a year later and I'm bigger than I was then. I'm tired! I'm tired of being a prisoner in this body of mine! I have literally been a slave to food since I was 4 years old and I can't take it anymore! So I have scheduled my first appointment for the gastric bypass! I'm gonna give this thing another shot! I hate that I have to start from square one but I'm happy I'm starting period! Whatever the doctor requires me lose before surgery I am going to give the challenge my ALL and lose it! Everything truly happens for a reason and I will NEVER question Gods decisions on my life! I'm excited for this journey and I'm positive that TWO times a charm
