This is exciting

Okay, my story...
I have had a weight problem for as long as I can remember.  When I was younger it was never too bad, being between 25 to 35 lbs overweight.  In the late 80 's I ended up reaching a goal using nutrisystem...it was an amazing feat, and my life changed dramatically.  I met my husband at that time.  I was wearing a size 5-7.  Life was wonderful then.  I enjoyed every minute of everyday...but alas the weight crept back on, plus a whole lot more...which brings me to today, 44 years old and a size 18-20 being 225 in weight, insulin dependant type ll diabetic.  I was up to 256 a couple of years ago, and have managed to get a bit of the weight off, but with the way I yo-yo it is only a matter of time before that piles back on as well.  I want to have gastric bypass...and I want it yesterday.  But for me needing a passport, I would be going down to Mexico within the next few weeks...I do have my papers for my passport, just have to have a professional fill in their part and then get it mailed off.  As soon as I get it back, I will be going for the surgery.  I am lucky to have such a supportive husband that he is going to pay for most of the surgery for me, even though he doesn't think I need it... :) Love is blind!  All around it is just going to be a lovely little get away for me as I have never been to Mexico before.  I have researched the Dr and the hospital and feel that the credentials speak for themselves.  I sure hope the weather is nice when I get there, because I live in Alberta and the winter is looonnnnggg and dreadfully cold.
