Countdown

Dec 25, 2011

I've been thinking about WLS for a very long time.  I have a low BMI (34) so surgery will not be covered in the US.  I'm going to Mexico in 2 weeks and I'm so excited but nervous too. 
I've been overweight all my life.  I was the chubby kid in school back when childhood obesity wasn't a problem.  My weight has yo-yo'd over the years but I've never been thin.  I'm trying not to have unrealistic expectations with this procedure that I will be as thin as I'd like to be, but that I will lose enough weight to be athletic and get back into running and weight lifting as exercise helps my depression.  Anesthesia really messes with my depression but I'm so desperate to lose weight that I'm willing to battle my depression.  I'm praying for safety in Mexico and that the surgery goes well.
