I am a female age 59. I have been obese for a very long time. I started with a Weight Loss Doctor in November 2007 and had all tests done and then had a scheduled date for Gastric Bypass for February 25, 2008 but it didn't work out. Their office called and cancelled due to corporate decision (2-22-08) and was going to rescheduled (said it would be weeks and weeks). Went to all support groups, dietition classes (which were great). I am Type 2 diabetic and NEVER went to a dietition before in my life. I have DJD, (have two knee replacements) I have a metal rod in my back, High Blood Pressure. I started with a weight of 320, BMI 51.2. I had started eating like I would if I had Lap Band surgery 3-14-08 and as of 4-11-08, I had lost down to 312, which I am very proud.
Due to other things that happened with that Weight Loss Doctor, I in turned,found a second one, Dr. Watson Roye ( the Good Lord was watching over this situation) I found a great doctor and another support system, plus the support of this web site. I want to change my life for me. I want to watch all my grandkids grow up and be the person they want to be and I want to be able to support them in any endeavors they do. I get so tired of not being able to go to the parks and watch them play, because it is hard to move with this weight and I should have done this surgery a long time ago. Being able to sit in regular chairs, bend down and tie your shoes, and getting up without the strain. April 16, 2008 will be the first day of my new life and so looking forward to it.
