Ahhh where to begin? Let's see, I've been overweight my entire life. I've tried numerous diets and have been successful with them....but then regained the weight and then some. In June of 2012 I decided I had, had enough!!! I made the choice to look into weight loss surgery with the support of my doctor.I applied for health insurance and was approved. I made the call to the nearest Bariatric Center which is in Saranac Lake, New York. and my first appointment on this journey was August 9th...That day I tipped the scales at my heaviest, a whopping 420.5lbs I was absolutely stunned..as my doctors scales read 368lbs(which was bad enough)....so from that day I have made some adjustments in my life...cut out soda completely as well as sugar and changed my way of eating and ...added in some exercise and have lost 28.5lbs so far!! I now have my surgery date(January 9th) and am mostly excited with a bit of nervous all rolled in to one lol. My surgery of choice is the Duodenal Switch. I have a very supportive system that includes family and friends...though they are nervous themselves. All I know is I want a new me...I don't want to be enslaved by all of this weight any longer!!! Thank you for reading "My Story"
