It has been two yaers and I  still cannot believe that i am a size 2/4. I was never a size 4 much less a size 2!  I am able to do all the things I used to watch other people do. I have a life now not just an existence. Thank you BMI of Texas and my wonderful Dr. Mickey Seger. Happy Anniversary to me!!!!!!!! Loving every minute of my healthy self.

Take a good look at Barbie, her perportions are all wrong. I will never be a size 7 jr. petite but I won't be stabbing myself with a needle 6 times a day either. Good luck on your surgery if you decide to have it. If you are in San Antonio I hope your Surgeon is Mickey Srger. He is the best.

It is never and easy decision to what has been a life long habit. I decided on Gastic Bypass because I had been a diabetic since I was 27 years old. I was not really sure that having the surgery would aliveate the dibetes. I was willing to take that risk.
I am going to be 60 in June. I adopted my 5 grandchildren in April of 08. I decided to go for my first appointment on May 21 of 08. One thing after the other seemed to stand in the way of getting the surgery, from my husband having the house remodeled in late October of 08 to my breaking an ankle in December of 08.  I still had not had my sleep study and it was mid July when things fell into place. The sleep study and then the physcological evaluation. The surgery was set for 9-15-09. I have not regretted, not even on the days when I felt a little sick. I not know to take a little bite, wait to see if it agrees with me and if it does, I finish eating it. 

It takes patience, but I feel with a lot of support, from family foremost and from friends who care about you. There are those of us here that will help you along. In the end though, the final decision is yours to make. We stand in our shoes alone and nobody wears our pants but us. How big do we want them to be!. Take care my friend and G-d Bless us all.

I  have always given to others, time and love as well as undivided attention. I kept myself last exceot at the table where food aways seemed to come first. Now my life comes above all else. I had RNY so that I could make a change in the lifestyle I was in. I have achieved this goal and have lost a total of  83lbs. so far on the 6month anniversary of my surgery. I am within 17lbs. of my goal weight and I have never felt better about myself.

I know that what I did, I did for me. I chose to give myself a new chance at life. I am living and enjoying every minute.
