I have struggled with weight my entire life. I have tried the different diets, the weight comes off and when I come off the diet the weight comes back and then some. The older I get the harder it is to lose weight. I have medical problems that don't help as well. Currently I work in law enforcement. In the last few years I have watched several of my co-workers have this gastric bypass and the pounds just melt off of them. Their medical problems dissappear and leave a happier and healthier person behind. Every one of my co-workers have gone to see Dr. M. Jawad in Ocala, Florida. They rave about him and what he can accomplish. I sat back and struggled with the decision for a surgery solution to my problem. Is it worth it? I have never had surgery before. The thought of it scared the heck out of me. Then I had another thought...... what if my weight plus my health problems equals my death. Which one is scarier? Having someone cut into me and not allowing food to control my life anymore? .....or continuing on the path that I am and letting the food and depression to continue?
I want to play with my children without being tired and out of breath. I want to walk with my husband without my joints having pain. I want to enjoy my day without food controlling it. I want my life back! I want this surgery! It is time to admit that I cannot fix this problem on my own and seek help from someone who is willing to help me! I went to see Dr. Jawad for help.....and they offered it.
After alost two years of struggling with my health and the insurance company, my surgery is scheduled for June 27, 2011. I pray that all goes well and that I have made the right choice. I'll keep you posted............
