I have been overweight my entire life and have had diabetes for the past 9 years, the diabetes is not comtrolled and I am large doses of insulin and continue to gain weight. I am schdeuled for a RNY July 2. I cannot wait!!! I am somewhat concerned about the mental aspect of the surgery, but otherwise I am ready. I have to be able to be a good mom to our little ones and be healthy to care for them, so this surgery is God sent.
