Hi, my name is Cheryl. My story begins with being overweight all my life. I don't know of a time when I was not overweight. Now it is time for a change. I am 40 years old and I have a 4 year old son.
As you can see from my username that this is for me. It's time for ME to make a change. It's not that I want to be skinny. I want to be healthy. I have diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, joint pain etc.... My family has a history of diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure. My father is currently in the nursing home as a result of having strokes. That is not a path I would like to take. There are so many diseases associated with being overweight. This truly is about ME. I'm currently 269 pounds and 5 feet 5 1/2 inches tall. I want to live a long time. The surgery is something I have been thinking about for years. Now I have to decide between the lap band or the gastric bypass surgery. My surgeon suggested I have the gastric bypass to eliminate the diabetes. I'm scared! Really scared but I know whatever choice I make, the Lord is going to be with me. Matthew 28:20 ....lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world.
