Kimberly Anne 2 Posted February 4, 2019 Hello everyone. I’m new to Bariatric Pal. I heard about the site and Facebook group on the Lighter Side of Weight Loss with Jay podcast. I’m so glad I did! I am 47, married 26 years (in May), have 3 children (29,21,20), and 4 of the sweetest grand children anyone could ask for. After my husband was found dead at work, revived 5 times and made a miraculous recovery, I knew I needed to get my health under control. both my husband and I researched for 6 months on types of weightloss surgery, as my primary dr suggested I needed to have it. We decided on the sleeve, and once I had my first appointment with my surgeon, he also agreed it was the right choice for me. i have 3 more weight management visits for my insurance then I will have surgery. Should be around end of April or early May. 2 JLondon11 and belinda7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hop_Scotch 1,632 Posted February 4, 2019 Hello and welcome. Thank goodness your husband is still alive and well for you and family, it obviously wasn't his time! April/May will be here before you know it! 1 Kimberly Anne reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ummyasmin 1,603 Posted February 4, 2019 Welcome - talk about a wakeup call. I'm so glad your husband survived! It's an exciting time for you coming up. It's tough but totally worth it! (This time last year I was 83 pounds heavier. Had bypass surgery in October, best decision ever!)
