Lisa C.
Hello! My name is Lisa. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I was able to lose weight in high school but it started my yo-yo diet struggle. I would lose then gain back weight from this point on. I am now at my all time heaviest. I have two beautiful girls that are my world. However I had to back-to-back pregnancies and I am stuck. The weight is stuck and I can’t seem to get it off. I have thought about WLS for about a year now. I think I am ready to get started. I don’t want to have all the health issues that my grandparents and parents have. I want a long and productive life with my wonderful family. I have a wonderful and supportive husband. I want to enjoy my family and start taking more family photos… After a lot of thinking and research I think I came up with WLS would be the best option for me. I went to see Dr. Boone in October and have been going through the prerequisite, psych evaluation, nutritional consultation etc. I now have received the letter of approval for the surgery but will have to wait to have surgery until spring break. I am going to school and working on obtaining my bachelors degree in Psychology. I am also work ¾ of the time for a non-profit agency. I am worried about the energy level I will have to be able to tackle my daily routine. Well that is an intro in to whom I am and what I hope to accomplish.
