I'm a 47 year old married with one 12 year old son. I have struggled with being overweight most of my life. I remember being the tallest in first grade which is ironic because I'm only 5'2" now.
I have tried every diet plan known, and had some successes in the early 90's but I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 3 years ago and the pain had gotten so bad I couldn't exercise. I really started putting on even more weight then.
So in June I started investigating WLS on the internet and attended a info meeting at Unity Hospitol in Fridley, MN. I signed up that day for an appt in July to meet with the nurse.
I was planning on having my surgery in '07 but once I got all my stuff in and done and was approved I decided to do it in November (partly because I didn't want to go through the holidays trying to loose weight) so on the 14th I had a RNY open with Dr. Johnson.
