Hello, my name is Velda I have been over weight for the majority of my adult life. I have for the last couple of years considered having WLS. But have been afraid of doing so. Recently a friend of mine had the surgery and is doing well. So this has made me rethink my choice.

My husband is totally against it. We are going to a meeting on December 9th so that both of us are more educated. I am at the point of no return but want him to be comfortable with my choice. I love my husband but I have to do this for me and my health!! I am a diabetic, have hypertension, and high cholesterol, and sleep apnea.

I am just to tired of all of the meds and failed attempts at loosing weight, and know deep in my heart that I have to do this to save my life. I have prayed and ask God for assistance with this and I know I can do all things with him! If anyone out there has any advice for me please, please feel free to share. I need all of the support I can get. Thanks for reading.
