Sara K.
Hello everyone My name is Sara, I am 23 and I weigh 247lbs. Haha, wow is that weird to just put on the internet how much we weigh! Hahaha at least for me, I am the girl who pretends to be only 170 on their drivers license HA
I have, like so many of you, been on this never ending battle for a life nonthreatening because of my weight. Since I was 10, I have been on some form of a diet. Since I was 15 or 16...I have known about Weight Loss Surgery, and for hours I would stare at the computer screen trying to find a way to have surgery..and cry and cry when I realized that I couldn't. Let me tell you, it has been a long road for me...and finally I get the chance at a normal, healthy life! Now at this age, I feel it is the perfect time for me to be here. At such a young age, I had no idea what I really wanted...and I have always been one to think that if it is meant to work out, then it will.
I still feel like I am in the beginning stages, even though my surgeon and his team have told me I am ready to pick a date. It doesn't seem real to me AT ALL! I just went to my pre-op surgery class, and on March 9th, 2011 I will pick my surgery date...which like I said...I keep waiting for that ONE thing to stop all of this from happening, aaah......
