Hi, after battling with my weight for most of my life, I have made the decision to have RNY gastric bypass to help me get back down to a healthier weight.
I am a survivor of domestic violence and have little to no self-esteem and am hoping also to start to feel better about myself through my journey. My biggest goal is to eventually be able to run a 5k for domestic violence! 
I have a wonderful supportive fiance who has seen me through all the good and the bad, and I couldn't ask for a better person to share my life with. I can't wait to start feeling better physically and emotionally so that I can be a better person for him.
I am super anxious to have the surgery and start dropping enough weight to begin to have a little more energy to get me through the day. It would be great to be able to go hiking and camping again without pooping out 1/4 mile in...
If you want to know anything about me, please ask, I'm an open person and don't mind answering any questions. I'm so happy to see that this place exists to help newbies like myself understand a little better what we need to do in preparation for our new lives...
Have a wonderful day and hope to hear from you soon!
