After years of struggling with my weight, I decided that I had to do something. I was tired of being embarassed about my weight by not being able to buckle my seatbelt on an airplane, not being able to ride roller coasters with my kids, etc. In addition to the embarassment, my health was starting to quickly deteriorate. In November 2009 I attended the informational seminar and started working on the approval process. In February I was contacted and informed that my insurance had approved the surgery. I had my first appointment on March 9 and started the Optifast program on March 11. I had my surgery on April 5, 2010. To date, things are going very well and I have lost 37.2 lbs. My ultimate goal is to loose another 120 lbs. I have been exercising, but not as often as I feel I should; however, today I ran my first mile without any rest along the way.I'm excited about loosing the weight and keeping it off and hoping that I can stay motivated!
