I am going on Tuesday for the seminar with Dr. D Stewart on Tuesday August 19, 2008. Seems like it will be like I am starting all over again but I know it will be worth the wait. I feel so ready for this, and have to be brave. Nothing comes easy so I feel this DS decision is going to be the best one for me. It is time for me to do for me !

I think I found two surgeons in Texas that will perform the DS....I HOPE they don't try to change my mind...I just feel more comfortable with the DS. OH please God no more hoops to jump I am getting tired and discouraged. Dr Eric Wilson, Dr Stewart in Denton texas are accepting medicare but you know how that goes things can change anyday....but I do feel more comfortable and some excitment all I can do is my Best !!
My mom has agreed to stay with me for 3 mos to make sure I follow the required diet....and not jump in my Honda Ridgeline for some fastfood

My Story

I am 47 years old been married almost 30yrs with the same man

.

I am considering WLS, I am very scared but if I stay like this is also scarey. My knees hurt so much

I am very short and weigh around 280 lbs but had reach the 299 and that I could not believe, and decided to do something, and do my homework.

In High School I was 140 and I thought that was so Fat and everyone was so much thinner

I gave birth to my Daughter at age 19 lost all the weight I was at 150, and never was able to lose any weight but now years later 280 and too many health issues. Only reason I will do this is for my health, I really don't care if my boobs and stomach hang to the ground, I just need to lose some serious weight before it kills me. I am afraid to fail with WLS. AND I wonder am I really ready for this
