Cinnabirst1
My name is Cindy and I have been overweight my entire adult life. I am 42 years old. When my dr. told me that I was morbidly obese, I cried. I knew I was fat but never had I been called morbidly obese. That was when I knew I had to do something about it. I know of people who had wls and did very well and I also know of people who had it and got very sick. I always said I would never to do the surgery, but I am at a point in my life where I feel this is my last option. My health is failing. I have sleep apnea, pulmonary hypertension, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism , high cholesterol, and just found out last week that I have 2 leaky valves in my heart because my heart is working too hard to pump the blood. My dr. said I need to lose weight or I am going to die very young. I am married and I have 2 sons ages 24 & 16 and I have 2 grandsons ages 3 & 6 months. So I still have a lot of living left to do! I have already had my consultation and now I am getting done what I need for insurance approval. I am praying that this surgery will improved my quality of life and let me live a long and happy life.

That was my story 10 years ago. My life has taken such a dramatic path since then.
