Hi, my name is Laura. I first heard about Bariatric Pal from "The Big Book on the Gastric Bypass" and decided to join. I have struggled with my weight for most of life, but have been considered morbidly obese for about the last 10 years. I continued to gain weight through and after both of my pregnancies. Having tried countless diets with little to no success because it was overwhelming to have 100+ pounds to lose, I finally came to the conclusion that gastric bypass could definitely be an excellent tool to help me reach my goal weight and to ultimately be a much healthier person. I have several friends who have undergone this procedure with much success. So, I am just starting my weight loss journey and have my initial consultation tomorrow at Winchester. I'm excited, anxious, and nervous, but really ready to begin this new chapter of my life. I want to be around for my children and to set a good example for healthy eating/living so they do not have to endure the same difficulties I have in my life.
