I have been looking at "hopingintx" and wondering if I should change my user name to something more exciting.  Then I thought what could be more exciting in my WL journey than hope!  I have been on some kind of diet or another since I was six years old.  I am now fifty-seven.  That covers a lot of "maybe this times" and a lot of disappointments as the weight creeps back up  or rebounds at an amazing speed.  For the first time, I do feel real hope to lose the weight and KEEP it off.  I've used many pills, gadgets, systems, books, drinks and powders and some of them actually did help the weight come off, but nothing has ever been there to help keep it off.  The last few times I have dieted, it was with the sub-concius fear that it would all be for nothing.   I almost dreaded reaching goal. It is what my history has made me  believe.  But guess what folks, history is about to be changed.  Next Tues., I am going to a semminar to meet with my prospective surgeon and get all the info., good and bad, involving Gastric Bypass.  I have thought for the last three years or so that this might be the way.  Now I have decided to act on it. (I finally have an insurance that is suppose to  cover it (fingers crossed for approval). I'm a bit anxious about the steps to be taken in dealing w/insurance co. but ready to take the bull by the horns.  Later.
