Hello All! I am a 30 year married mother of 1. I have been researching WLS for about 10 years. I went back and forth about. Mostly scared to do it. I made an effort to go to a seminar in 2005 and found that my insurance did not cover it. Now looking back I really don't think I was ready to take that step. I don't remember sitting and listening to everything the Dr said there. I have not been overweight all my life. I think that was by default. I was always active and in sports so the weight did not catch me until I graduated from high school and boy did it catch me. It was like overnight I couldn't fit my clothes anymore and it was scary. My whole family is overweight. I have never been a bad eater. If anything I can say that maybe I don't eat as often as I should. I may eat once or twice a day and that's my fault. I know I should eat more. Well I took the big leap of faith at the beginning of this month. I made a decision to take the steps toward surgery. I I am just waiting for my 1st clinic visit to be scheduled. I am excited! I was going to do the lap-band, but decided that RNY was best for me. My husband is very supportive, but scared also and I understand that. I don't have health issues currently, but I want to prevent that. I am also doing this for my son most of all. He is small now not even 2 years old yet, but I want to be the best healthiest mom for him. I am ready for the change! I plan to keep posting on my progress! Thanks for looking.
