I have always been over weight. My entire life...I have a few memories of being little and being at a "normal" weight range. That was only for a few months in my 25 years. I finally hit my wall when I discovered that I had bigger infertility problems than I realized and that I was diabetic. Weight loss always seemed like that goal that I would get to with the new year or when I would start that new "exotic" diet. I finally bit the bullet and realized that I had a problem that was out of control and that I needed help. I found a wonderful doctor that is the best in the surrounding area that I live in and was able to have my insurance cover a large portion of my surgery. I am now into my post op diet and officially 13 days away from surgery! I am so excited...I have lost officially 21 lbs pre-op and hope to loose a little more before the big day so that I can prove to myself that I can do this and continue towards my goal after surgery and for the rest of my life!!!
