I am 25 year old mother of one (2 1/2 little boy"Drew").. I have my first appt. on Oct. 24, 2002 @ Georgetown Clinical in KY... I have HBP, HC, arthritis in my knees and can't walk 25ft without shortness of breath, My wt. is 400+lb.. I want to enjoy things with my son and be able to ride a bike or take a walk with him ! I don't want him to be made fun of because he has a FAT mommy!! So many things!! I want OFF all my medication!!! I want to be HEALTHY!!
