Hello.  My name is Tamara, and I am just in the beginning stages of my WLS journey.  I have been heavy from probably age 11 or 12.  My weight problems didn't start until I hit junior high school.  I have dieted off and on for many many many years, trying many diets. I continued to pack on the weight and 2 pregnancies added to that as well.  I am asthmatic, and have sleep apnea and am insulin resistant. I started thinking about WLS approx 6 months or so ago. When I finally did get over my feeling like if I did it I would be a failure. I talked to my husband and was hoping to get his support, and to my suprise I got much more than that. He has decided he would like to do the WLS as well. So, we are doing this together ( same day ). We thought that would be a great idea, so that we would be able to help each other and be on the same regimen. And I am happy that I can go through this journey with my best friend and love of my life. We have been happily married for 13 years this year, and can't wait to have many more years with him and our children. So, we have both had our consult with the Dr, and we are waiting to hear back from the office to find out if they need anything else, or if they have went ahead and submitted to insurance.  Waiting....... is the hardest part!!!
