Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have always been the "BIG GIRL" with the pretty face. I've often heard, "Yes, you are a big girl, but atleast you have a pretty face". I've been overweight since I was about 12 or so but weight nevr got in my way. I had very low self esteem as a teenager. I always got picked over by the guys at my school and even at church. They always went for the skinny girls. It wasn't unitl I came into adulthood that made me realize that I was a beautiful women, inside and out, even with my extra pounds. I've tried just about every diet in the book, loss a few pounds, and regained it all and then some. The bigger I've gotten these last couple of years I felt my self confidence almost totally diminish.

Approved!!!!!

Yay! I was approved by my insurance company for RNY last week!!! I was so estastic that I laughed and cried tears of joy! This has been a long time coming and I'm so grateful! I know that challenges lay ahead of me and although I believe that I researched this to no end, I'm still a bit fearful. Even through my joy and apprenhensiveness, I know that I'm making the right decision. It's either do or die for me, ( not literally) but I have to do something to change my limitations and now is the time!!!
