Hi,my name is Anna.I have been waiting almost 9 months to to hear an approval for having the Gastric Bypass and finally I have a date!I am getting it done on December 3rd and I couldn`t be more excited!Growing up I have always been overweight,but never really got teased because my habit was making fun of myself before anybody else could.I never really looked down on myself for being overweight because I`ve always been positive and loved myself.I have 2 beautiful children and my outlook on life is just so different since I had them.I found out I had Diabetes about a month after I had my daughter 9 years ago.I never really understood how serious this disease was until I started having so much problems with my health.Both sides of my family have heart disease,diabetes,high cholesterol,and high blood pressure.I took my daughter last year to an appointment and the Dr.told me that they want to do some blood tests on her.Well to make a long story short ,we got her labs back and they said that she is borderline diabetic and that scared th hell out of me!Here I am supposed to be protecting my children and to find something out like that really hurt.Ever since then,I have been trying to watch what we eat and excercise more together and I have really noticed a big difference in myself and my children.The idea of having this surgery done really had me uneasy for a while,but after I did some research of my own,I am really positive that this surgery is going to change my life in the best way ever.I don`t ever want to imagine not seeing my kids finish High School or college,not seeing them get married and having my grandkids.I believe with this surgery I will be able to see all of that and I Thank God every day for blessing me with this oppurtunity! hope that I can meet alot of people on here that can help me through this as I can do the same for them.
