Please bear with me. I'm new on the computer and don't know much about how it works. Anyway a little about myself. I started my wls journey in October 2004. I have several friends who have it done. My Dr. is DR. Douglas Krahn at Saint Bernadines Hospital in San Bernardino, California. I have been attending his support group for over a year,so I have heard probably ever story imaginable. I do have every faith in Dr. Krahn. I really believe he is the best there is, he also has one of the best nursing and follow up groups I have heard of. About me, I have struggled with my weight since I was about 25 I was married, worked, had a home and wanted to have a family. I became very stressed after having trouble conceiving and started over eating. That started my up and down weight life. I went on ever diet imaginable and would lose a little and then put all I had lost and a couple more pounds on. My life became a weight lose yoyo. Well here I am my daughter is grown with kids of her own, my son just turned 18 and is enlisted in the Army. I am now at my highest weight ever, I'm 4'10" 197 til last month, I'm now 190 Dr. put me on a post op diet, nothing but meat and vegies. but hey I lost 7 lbs. in a month. My surgery is scheduled for Jan. 25. I'm so anxious, can't wait to start my new life. I figured since kids are grown it's time for me to take of myself. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholestrol, high tryglisterides, arthrites, asthma and now sleep apnea. My insurance oked me right away. So now just 59 days to go. will be counting down very excitedly. Well thats about all for now will keep in touch and wish everyone a
blessed holiday season, By for now.
