Hello. My name is April. I am 28 years old. I have been overweight & suffering from depression for most of my life. I am 2 months post op. My surgery date was May 21, 2007. I have been wanting weight loss surgery for about 5 years but feared what my friends & family would say. Finally, I decided that it doesn't matter. I was in a position where it was the perfect time in my life to finally do what I want to do. My job is going well. My employer pays for the weight loss surgery option in our insurance plan. My job offers short term disability for the time away from work. My boss is very supportive & happy for me. I had family who offered to help me during my post op recovery. My daughter is kind of old enough to get the idea of what I was doing. I was finally in the mind set to "Just Do It." I am tired of putting my life on hold because I am not following the path everyone else thinks I should. It took me a long time to realize that I would never be happy until I start living for me. So I jumped. I decided that no matter what the outcome, I was doing this for myself. I am pretty happy with my choice. Seeing the before & after pictures that others have posted has given me so much will power. I wish I would have done this sooner. I am ready to begin my life, maybe a little thinner & healthier.
