I'm just a young professional trying to get the most out of my life and I know that my weight has been making me unhealthy and holding me back. I've been overweight almost my entire life, starting from early childhood. I guess I kept thinking that I could lose the weight by the traditional method, but I'm learning that I'm the rule, not the exception, and I fall under the 95% of obese people who will never lose their weight through diet and exercise alone. I know I can do both of those things, and I try, but I need more help than that. I wasn't always okay with weight loss surgery and it took me several years and lots of research and failures to arrive at this place in my life, but I'm so glad I did before too much of my life has passed me by.
Aside from my wls journey, I am trying to finish my master's degree which should be completed by May 2010, and I'm considering a 3rd trip to Ireland about a month post-op (depending on when I can schedule my surgery).
