MY NAME IS RONNIE. I FOUND THIS SITE BY DOING A SEARCH OF THE DIFFERENT WEIGHT LOSS SURGERIES. I CONSIDERED SURGERY ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO BUT BACKED OUT JUST BEFORE I HAD THE PROCEDURE.
NOW, I AM AT THE BEGINNING OF MY JOURNEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE OBESITY CLINIC AT FLORIDA HOSPITAL, CELEBRATION. THIS WEEK I WILL ATTEND THE SEMINAR. ALTHOUGH I CAN DO THIS ONLINE, I AM GOING TO HEAR THE DOCTOR I AM INTERESTED AND TO SEE WHAT PROCEDURE(S) MY INSURANCE WILL COVER.
MY WEIGHT PROBLEMS BEGAN WHEN I BECAME PREGNANT WITH MY FIRST CHILD. I GAINED OVER 55 POUNDS. THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, MY WEIGHT HAS BOUNCED UP AND DOWN, WHICH I KNOW IS VERY UNHEALTHY.
I NOW SUFFER FROM HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND TRIGLYCERIDES, BAD BACK AND KNEES. I AM HOPING THAT BY LOSING WEIGHT, SOME OF THESE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. I LOOK FORWARD TO A LONG HEALTHY LIFE.
