More Introductions

Dec 09, 2017

Greetings All, 

I am still new to all of this and I am learning to post and read the forums etc. Let,  introduce myself further. I am Lisa-Marie Perkins-Williams, I am turning 37 years old on the 21st of this month. I have one 13 year old son and I am married to a miracle of a blessing. I used to be so against surgery but when I married my Baby, we both were one hundred plus pounds bigger than we are now. I was in the 300's and he was in the 500's and he was signed up for the Gastric Bypass. I was old school country breed to my heart, in my mind, and in my living I and did not believe in anyone cutting on you. I asked him to help him avoid having surgery as we were courting and I researched options and found Quick Weight Loss Centers, we are Christians and we married fast and that proved a miracle and a testing. We loved each other and as we say the blessing is we truly liked each other and we came to a common ground on great food. Quick Weight Loss was good for us and I still today promote and support them, it does work and it did for us for awhile. Then our lives changed and we moved into a more tempting area and we did not know anyone, but each other and we would date night or hang out and eat good; too good. We did and do work out, yet our weight lost was rollercoastering even with working out and all of sudden I turned 36 and I had Diabetes again, because when we lost weight in the beginning before meeting each other we were both diagnosed with Diabetes and I had High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Sleep Apnea and I lost 50 pounds and I was cured. My husband prayed and he was delivered from Diabetes and for the longest he had no health concerns except for his weight and the toll it was taking on his body. Fast forward, Hurricane Harvey came and our health came into play I was tested and my Diabetes was 444 and his Blood Pressure was out of control. Everyone kept telling me I was too young to die and have someone cutting on me as far as body parts for Diabetes complications and they gave me my life for contributing to him having High Blood Pressure and it shook me to my cure. I decided our health is our wealth and I wanted better for us. So, I am 36 with Diabetes and I work out three times a week and try to do about five hours of physical activity a week. My doctor now tells me I am stalled on weight lost because I have PCOS and my Diabetes must get under control or I will die. I remembered looking into VSG surgery once in 2015 and discussing it with my old doctor and all of a sudden I was getting all of these GOD signs and they were lining up and here I am signed up for surgery in Juarez Mexico at Hospital Angeles with Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villareal and Dr. Elmo Aramburo on 12/18/2017 for my birthday gift and I am so excited and this site and the testimonials have helped me be at ease greater. 10 days and we know it is going to be a new adventure. He is signed up for his birthday in February, GOD'S willing.
