Hi, My name is Janet and I am a 38 year old mother of 3. I have only battled with my weight since I started college. Go figure. Since 1987, I have steadily put on weight and really excelerated the process with the birth of my children. I have tried every diet known to man, with very minimal success. It seems like I can lose 40lbs and then my body says, thats enough, and I put it all back on plus some. It's a vicious cycle. I have been contemplating WLS for about a year and a half, but I always chickened out. I guess I was not ready. I AM finally ready and have taken the first step. I called Albany Med and got the paperwork, filled it out and faxed it back. I was shocked when I got a phone call 2 hours later to set up my orientation. I can't wait to start my jourey. My goals:
1. Lose 125lbs
2. Play with my boys without getting exhausted.
3. Shop for clothes in regular sizes, no more plus size shopping!
4. Fit into my wedding dress when I renew my vows in October 2007. (20 years!)
5. Where a bathing suit
6. Ride a roller coaster!
7. Walk in public with my head held high!
8. Get my blood pressure taken without having to say "you need to use the large cuff".
This is a life journey and I am ready to go! Good luck to all that have taken steps to get their lives back!
