devalissh 0 Posted July 15, 2010 I just wanted to introduce myself, My name is kelly and I have been on this journey for about 2 years just trying to decide if i wanted to do it.. I tried every diet just like all of you, but what made me decide 100% was my father had 3 heart attacks in 3months last year then this year he found out that he had throat cancer and after that I found out that my cholestrol & blood pressure was high.. So NO MORE waiting and excuses. NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to get it off and keep it off no for looks but to prevent that bad road that i would eventually go down...I am a very active person i do aerobics classes and walk 3miles a day and still nothing I want to live and want to have children so i say YES let the journey offically start..:sad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devalissh 0 Posted July 16, 2010 well two years ago when I began I just had one that my insurance company sent me to got half way through with the process then decided to give it a little bit and see if i could give it a real chance.. then after all that stuff with my dad (the worlds greatest dad) I actually talked to a couple friends that did more research than i had and they had bypass with this one of two docs that i am going to see. They actually hold several patents in laparoscopic surgery. and was one of the first ever to preform that type of surgery.. His name is dr steven scott. I feel very comfortable with knowing all of those things.:sad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
