Made The Decision

[nish 102]

Hello everyone!

On Wednesday May 16, after attending a seminar on the three different surgeries, i have made my decision to go with the gastric bypass instead of the band.

I am 36 years old - 5'3 - weight lately ranges from 244.6-251.2.

I have tried it all cleanses, weight watchers, lean cuisine meals, even after I lost the initial weight (lowest 180) I could never take anymore off even with exercise. I would maintain but nothing else.

I have struggled with my weight since I was 17 So 20 of feeling very uncomfortable with my body I am going to do it.

From what I gather the criteria for my insurance is to:

Start seeing physician once a month for the next 6 months which is Wednesday, then then surgeon approved dietician on July 3.

If I have to do the 6 months of seeing the physician then I am projecting a surgery date approx around the middle of December.

I have two daughters one 19 the other 5, full time job and starting Grad school in August.

Yes it is like me to pile the plate so high I am pecking over the top.

But I know that if I don't make this change I am going to just get bigger and Bigger and BIGGER!

Looking for the support from this community to continue on!

Would like to feel comfortable and beautiful!
