First Dr Consult On 4/25/12

[Devans 8]

I have been toying with the idea of having surgery for two years now. My brother had it 2 years ago and is doing great. He has lost 109 lbs. So that also gave me a positive outlook. I'm 48, a stay at home grandma ( I babysit my grandkids) and love ever minute of it. It also showed me I need to be in better health so I can be around to watch these precious little ones grow up. I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 20 years taking insulin shots daily. So I hope this will help me or do you think it's to late? I'm having my surgery with dr trace curry in Ohio.

It's NEVER too late! Those grandbabies are going to need you - a healthy, happy you - around for a lot longer. It's going to take hard work and dedication, but you've definitely got the motivation. It's got to be something you do for yourself...but use them as inspiration! Plus - think of how many pokes you'll be saving yourself over the next handful of years. Do the research, find a good program and doctor, and dive in! Keep us posted.

I had my first meeting with the Dr. on 3/30, so I understand right where you are. It is a little scary....ok a lot scary at first, but I finally realized, my weight was only getting worse, not better and I needed help. It is a big step, but one I have faith that will make my life better. I've been reading everything good and bad about the surgery, and I know it can work, if I let it. So for me I'm working on changing my mindset to go along with the physical changes that are coming.

Good luck on your journey!!!!!
