Brenda A
I am the wife of Glenn A who had WLS 12-31-2003. Before Glenn's surgery he found the OH Bama board to be very supportive. Having had weight problems for a lifetime, I too have found much encouragement from this board. Throughout this journey we have made what I call some "life friends" who have become family to us. Glenn says fat people are good people. I have been blessed by watching so many on the Bama Board shrink. My purpose for posting and reading the board is for encouragement only. If I can help someone then I feel fullfilled. God has blessed us more than we could ever deserve. I only want to share his love with others. With my many health problems, asthma being the worst, I will probably qualify in the near future for the surgery as well. I would like to maintain without it but if it would help my quality of life I would go for it in a minute. WLS isn't for everyone but I have witnessed so many lives changed for the good by the surgery.
Take care and God bless.
