I am a 52 year old mother of 3, I have diabetes and high blood pressure. I have had a problem with my weight all of my adult life.It never really bothered me before, but 4 years ago i got diagnosed with Diabetes and eventually was put on insulin. That was the real turning point for me. I HATE giving myself injections, and knew that I HAD to change. My husband was supportive when I first started talking about the surgery, but something happened and he turned totally against it, but that just gave me more fuel to followmy heart and do what I needed to do for me. I found a suregon that made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions.Even though Dr Kia was almost and hr away, I made every appointment and did everything I needed to do to make it a reality.Once my husband saw that nothing was gonna stop me, he made a 360 degree turn around, and has been there for me.My Surgery was Feb. 19th, and I feel great.
