LWHITFIELD
My weight has been an issue for most of my life. I was the "largest" of all my brothers and sisters... and I have 9 siblings! I never felt like I belonged. After high school and marriage, I had my first child at age 19- then 21- then 28. Each pregnancy brought more weight, weight I never completely lost Now its been 25+ years, and my weight has affected my health. I have Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol. I've thought about weight loss surgery over the years, but often worried about what people would think. Is this the easy way out? I worrid about being judged. Then it occured to me, who gives a sh...t? It's my life! I want to live a long deserving life with my new husband of 1 1/2 years. I want weight loss surgery. I met with a surgeon 6 months ago, decided on lap band... and I have been focused ever since. I will beat my insurance at their game!
