NewMein2017
Hi. My name is Anne. I started on this journey around September 9, 2016. That is the date I made up my mind to finally do something about my weight and health. I was at 367 lbs and knew if I wanted to be around much longer, I HAD to do something. I had tried everything under the sun about my weight and nothing helped. I just seemed to get bigger and bigger. At 37 years old I was killing myself with my weight. My mother had RNY surgery 6 years before and had done amazing so she was my go-to person. After talking with her I knew this was definitely the path I wanted to take.
I decided to get the ball rolling as quickly as I possibly could. I contacted my family doctor around September 12th or 13th and talked with her about wanting this surgery for my health. She agreed that I needed to do something. After having to get over a few hurdles with the doctor's office my surgery was scheduled December 7, 2016.
