Beginning my WLS Journey
Jun 11, 2009
I began my WLS journey this week. I went to a seminar here in Reno on Tuesday provided by The Western Bariatric Institute. It was very informative and has helped me make up my mind about having WLS. I have been considering a Roux en Y for the last 5 years and could never bring myself to go through with the process. I always told myself...oh I will just try to lose the weight with diet and exercise...it NEVER happened!!! I have been steadily gaining the weight over the last 5 years. I now weigh around 300 pounds. OMG!!! My BMI is 47. I am so afraid of NEVER being thin. I will never be able to enjoy my kids and my fiance. Summer time will always be miserable...and the biggest thing...I will never get to fullfill my lifelong dream...I have always wanted to be a police officer!!! You cant be FAT and be a police officer. So I have scheduled my psych evaluation and my nutrition evaluation and now waiting for a call from WBI to schedule my first consultation. Wish me luck!
