Let's see...I am turning 29 this September and I have been "fat" for the past 6-7 years. I have missed some of the best years of my life and of my family's. I have been very skeptical of WLS for a long time, mostly out of fear and lack of knowledge on the subject. I am a Navy Brat and a Navy Wife. When we moved from VA to Japan...I loved it but balloned up. I was diagnosed with PCOS about the same time I started gaining weight. The side effects of PCOS SUCK! They are awful.
I have just started the process and have my first appointment on 4-8-08. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I know that this is NOT a quick fix nor will it be easy, but I am tired of just existing in the world. My family does not deserve it and NEITHER DO I....I am ready to LIVE again.
