A Second Chance At Life

May 15, 2012

Finally after a life time of at least 50 different diets and hundreds of different tries...surgery was the answer for taking weight off for me. I yo-yo-ed over the years losing 5 gaining back the same _++++ more.  But everytime I started, I failed...I felt battered and beat up with the end result of being even a fatter failure...very demoralizing...even leading to depression. 

This is the first time in many years that the weight is dropping, and without the usual struggle. I feel great, I'm exercising, getting more active and loving life more than ever. I realize that sometimes it takes more resources than just dieting to enact weight lost change...

I'm so lucky that (1) I decided to have wls (2) I got a great surgeon/doctor (3) Insurance understood the need for me to lose weight for health reasons alone (4) my work allowed me the necessary time for surgery and recovery (5) my family supports me on this new healthy life adventure.

I know there are and will be blimps along the way...but given my health before and the major improvement after wls...I've been granted a second chance at a healty life! Thank you to all who made it happen!
