Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have been overweight since I was 5 years old. I didn't know what it was like not to eat candy, ice cream, sweets, and I didn't know what it was like not to sneak food. For all of my life my Mom would say (bless her heart) Honey, you have such a pretty face if you would only lose. My ex husband wanted a svelt long haired size 5 wife (notice the word ex here!) My darling husband of 22 years loves me as I am but wants me to do the best for me. I was bullied as a kid, made fun of, and as I grew older, I let my profession do the talking for me and not worry about my weight. What a sad existence that was.

Starting over
on January 18, 2012 6:33 am
It's time to start over... after my lap-band failure, and no assistance from the surgeon in Auburn; after finding a wonderful group in Saranac Lake; after being denied the surgery by the insurance company; after having Dr. Hixson and Dr. Hill fight for me; after winning the appeal from the insurance company; I am SCHEDULED for my surgery on March 21st!!!

This time there is no fooling around. This time there is no cheating. This time there is no 'just a bite'. After all I've been through, after all of the people behind me, this time I will succeed.

I have an angel in heaven (namely my Mom) kicking me in the butt saying, "Knock it off, kid and just do this". I will! Because..

This time it's for me!
