I am at the beginning of my weight loss journey. I have a surgery date of May 29, 2015. I'm scared, excited,and happy all at the same time. Over the last couple years I have packed on pounds due to various reasons; depression meds (after death of 1st husband), fertility meds, pregnancies, bed-rest, and PCOS. I have been 200+ lbs for the last 3 years. Before that I was still overweight between 180-190 lbs for about 5 years.
I hope to benefit from Bariatricpal by finding people who are going through the same things as I am. I hope to find some support, and to read others ideas and struggles. I know surgery will not be the easy way, and I hope to learn ways to make it through. It is encouraging to read stories of others.
