Well..I guess it is time for me to make a post on here.  My name is Jill.  I am 23 years old from Rhode Island.  I toyed with the idea of gastric bypass for a long time, but just recently made my final decision.  I have always been big.  I am actually not at my largest right now.  In high school I was 285 lbs, but have since gotten down to 230.  Wow..good for me, huh?  Not so much.  The only reason I lost weight was because I had undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes.  It was doing so much damage to my body, and I had so much glucose that my body was no longer depending on the sugar for energy.  It was so flooded that It turned to my fat supply.  Since my diagnosis, a few years ago, I have been on medications, diet, excesize, a personal trainer (who I called bob...like from the biggest loser).  I had lost more weight the healthy way, but here I am....23 years old..a diabetic...on the BMI borderline, and faced with a decision.  Although my weight has gone down, my eating habits have drastically changed, and I seem healthier...my sugar has continued to be out of control. I have made a decision to better my life and my health by undergoing gastric bypass this friday, Novemeber 10th.  Before my BMI drops below 35, I needed to decide, and I am all about getting rid of the diabetes.  My doctor told me that since my body is not responding well to my medication, it is almost a fact that I will be on insulin within the next couple years.  I still have a chance for my body to repair my pancreas, and live a normal life.  What many people do not know, is that gastric bypass is nearly a cure for type 2 diabetes.  There is a 90% cure rate..that is amazing, and all the proof I need.  I was told that by the time I leave the hospital, I will no longer need any medication.  In fact they told me not to even take it on the morning of my surgery.

So here I go...4 more days until I'm bringing sexy back...and sending diabetes away
