Hello all! A little bit about me: I am currently in the process of trying to get everything lined up to have gastric bypass surgery. It is something I have been thinking about doing for the past handful of years. People ask, why have you waited so long and what made you think about doing it now? I tell them, I am sick of being over-weight, I am tried of being tired, tried of being sick, my back and hips hurting all the time, and I'm tried of having to shop at a special side of the store and only being able to get certain clothes, not the ones I really want. I have had trouble with my weight my whole life and a large amount of my family is also over weight. Some of them have had the surgery and had success, along with some of my friends/co-workers.
Other reason's I have decided to go through with the surgery now is that I am getting married in June 2010. My fiance and I have been together for about 3 1/2 years and he is extremely supportive. In fact, hes the one that is making sure I go to the gym or for walks and helping me fight the urges to eat things I know are bad for me but taste so good. We've also been trying to get pregnant for the past year with no success. I have spoken to my family, him, and my doctor about this and they all feel having the surgery will make things not only easier to have a baby but will make me feel better! So that is a little about me, I look forward to this long journey and getting to talk to a lot of other people out there. Whether you have already had weight loss surgery, are thinking about it or just have question's and would like to talk.
