Hello to all! Well to start, I am 27 years old and will be turning 28 in April. I am happily married and we have a daughter. I have been overweight just about my entire life. I can not ever remember being in a single digit dress size. I have tired exercising and diets and the most I have lost at a given time is 30lbs. In highschool my highest weight was 270 plus or minus a few. I got down to 250 and stayed there for a while and after having my daughter I gained a lot of weight, and today I stand weighing 302lbs :-( I don't like how I look in my clothes, my blood pressure is always elevated when I go to the doctor, and I just had to go up a dress size. So I decided to make a change and started my journey. I am scared/nervous of surgery, BUT I continue to pray and keep God first and I know all will be fine. I am so excited! I talk about WLS to my husband literally every day. My insurance covers the procedure, I have to do a 6month weight management with my doctor and then a $250 deductible (Cigna insurance) and here we go. I am estimating having the procedure done in late September or October, due to the 6 month guideline. I am glad I found this website.
