Hello friends. Let me just briefly introduce myself. I have been overweight for years. I was a skinny young girl and teenager. I was actually very embarassed and self concious about it. Immediately following baby #1, I began to experience what trying to loose weight was all about. With baby #2 and finally baby #3 it was out of control. The youngest is now 22 years old, so I guess you can imagine how I have struggled; fighting the battle, sometimes winning a bout, only to find my battle reoccuring and having to fight it all over again. Seemingly with the wonderful process of aging and gaining weight also came many additional factors that caused the weight to increase and become harder and harder to loose. Not only has the weight caused me to become increasingly unhealthy physically and emotionally but it has affected my entire life. I find that I haven't wanted to participate in social activities with my husband, nor do I want to see my old friends. An especially hard time for me was my oldest sons wedding.....urggh, how I hated to be in all those pictures..... So, after doing all within myself that I could do and after spending entirely too much money on weight loss remedies that worked only for a minute, I decided to pursue bariatric surgery. I did not make a hasty decision.....but the opposite, I researched it for at least 4 years. I was recently approved for Lap-band surgery. I am currently waiting on my surgery date, but think it will be scheduled sometime in November. I am so happy and feel like I am finally on my way to achieving success in loosing weight and becoming healthy. There is a light at the end of my tunnel and I am looking forward to be on the loosing side. Those of you who believe in the power of prayer, please lift me up.
