I have been overweight for about 16 years. I tried dieting and exercise to lose my weight but was never successful in losing more than 10 or 15 pounds except for the one time that I lost 50 pounds. After gaining weight I was diagnosed with diabetes. In the last couple of years I have begun to run into diabetic complications. I now have macular edema. I have practically lost my sight in my right eye. This is very scary, not to mention the fact that my hobby is reading, I also am the mother of 8 and a homeschooler. I am also a student. I do not want to go completely blind. I decided that I needed to do something so, I started looking into having a pancreas transplant but found out I did not meet the critera for that surgey. I then forund out about bariatric surgey and how it helped others who were diabetic. I have lost family and friends to the complications of diabetes and am also seeing people who are battling this disease and losing, this is so very depressing. As anxious as I am about having this surgey I am willing to trust that the Lord has given me this information and oppotunity as a second chance at life I pray that He will bring me through and I will give Him all the glory for He is truly worthy!!!!!!
