I started my journey in Aug 09 and went through all kinds of red tape, 6mths nutrition , psych eval and then turns out I have sleep apnea, so that was  whole other situation. But it all worked out for the best.  I had been overweight my entire life, starting in 4th grade.  Kids use to pick on me all through school, I hated school and hated myself, but no matter how hard I tried to lose weight, it just wouldn't come off.  I had good friends and smiled alot at the jokes all the while crying inside and cried a lot when alone.  But then as I got older, my health got worse.  I was diagnosed with hypertension, PCOS, PKD, severe arthritis in BOTH knees, sleep apnea, and hypothyroidism.  My family doctor said I needed to do something or I won't live to see my kids grow up.  I mean I am only 33!  So I looked into weightloss surgery and found Dr. Ku, I went to a seminar that he held and I was hooked.  I filled out all the necessary paper work and within a month I was on my journey.  It was a long road, but finally got my surgery on 4/26/10, so I am brand new, only 3 weeks post op, but already lost 12lbs!  So I am super excited.  I go for my first fill on 5/28/10, a little nervous, but I am assured it is nothing to be scared of.  Well that is my story in a nutshell.
