DOROTHYANN
4/12/07 I have been heavy all my life. I began taking diet pills prescribed by a Dr. at age nine. I have been on every diet invented gained and lost a hundred lbs or more. And now am so excited to have the oppertunity to have this tool to maybe be the last of the weight problem. My surgery is April 12th, one day after my 39th wedding anniversary. I'm very tired of carrying around this large heavy body, It makes me feel bad mentaly and physicaly. I have experinced sucess in lots of aspects in my life but haven't been able to concur this weight issue. Hope I'm on the road to doing that very mission.
4/13/12 Well that was 5 years ago yesterday and here I am 138lbs lighter than I was then. Would I do it all again? In a heart beat. Was it with out it's difficulties?, No, there were many bumps and some times some scarry stuff( band slipped and had to have re-do). Im happy to say Im on the other side of this weight issue and Im thankful everyday. I have to watch what I eat always because as I said before when I first started, It's a tool not a magic wand. I feel wonderful with the weight loss and am enjoying life more today than I have in years. Im proud of myself and my body once again. Pride and happiness over shame and embarrisment any day. Here's to all that have taken this journey and to all who are considering taking the journey, What are you waiting for.????
