I've been overweight since puberty (which hit me at age 8 1/2). I tried many, many MANY diets. Some stupid, some sensible, none worked. The most I ever lost at one time is 30lbs. But I always gained it back and then some.
Jan of 2005, I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis (personally, I don't believe the doctors know what is wrong with me). It left me with weakness in my legs and numbness from the breastbone down. Then in Dec of 2007, I was diagnosed with the big 3, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholestral. I already was having problems because of the TM, the medicines for the big 3 made matters worse. I finally got fed up and asked my doctor to request WLS for me. Thank God, it was approved. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot less of ME!
