My name is Jenn and soon I will be 25. I've thought about wls for a long time. My parents, brother, maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother are all overweight. My dad died because of it and my maternal grandmother has had many health problems. I'm too young to let my life keep going in the direction it's heading. I decided it was time for me to do something about my weight. Years of dieting have failed.
In August of 08 I talked to my pcp and now I'm on my way to having surgery. I had my orientation and consultation already. I've lost my 10% that Kaiser requires. I have my psych eval January 2 and then I get to find out my surgery date.
I feel better than I have in a long time. I now weigh 5 pounds less than I did almost 10 years ago. I love exercising and going to the gym. I'm excited for this opportunity that I have to change my life for the better. I'm a bit nervous and scared too, but I know that it will be worth it in the end.
