Well, I have never been a small girl.  As a matter of fact, I have had weight issues most of my life.  I was aware that I was large and had come to accept it.  Unfortunately, this year the weight has really taken a toll on my health.  Not only do I have high cholesterol, but I have high blood pressure, I am prediabetic, have a deterioating knee, and lower back issues, and severe sleep apnea.  All of this was diagnosed last summer.  I made a decision that I would consider the surgery but I would try everything else first.  I was terrified of going under the knife but here I am with about 2 weeks before the big day.  My family and friends have been very supportive of my decision and I have a wonderful doctor.  I know everything will be fine.  I have really enjoyed reading the success stories on this site.  Anyone with advice that will help me get through this process should please drop me a note.
