I just turned 37 and I have ALWAYS been over weight. I had thougt about having the surgery years ago and always found a reason not to take the first steps and get started to a healthier me. Then on Jan. 2007, God blessed my family with my heart and soul, my granddaughter, Madison. The moment I held her I knew that I could not and would not allow ANYTHING to stand in my way of being able to enjoy her to the fullest !!! I want to be able to get in the floor and play with her and out in the yard and run around with her and know that I will be able to have many many years with her. I started my journey in Oct. I began my 6 month weight loss program with a physican ( so far lost 16 lbs.) and I have my first consultation appt. with the surgeon on March 6th. Finally feel like I am making progress to taking the first steps to my new and improved life that I know awaits me.
