Who I Am
Nov 02, 2009
Hi, everybody! I am new to this whole thing, so let me start from the beginning.I have always been obese. When I say "always" I mean ALWAYS. I was born with a damaged pituitary gland which caused lots of problems, including Diabetes Insipidus. I couldn't hardly walk before the age of 2 because I was so heavy. The excessive thirst caused severe weight gain as a child. Well, as a teenager I tried various diets and also as an adult. You know the scoop: lose 20 pounds, gain 30 pounds. Lose 40 pounds, gain 45 pounds, etc.
Now I am 41 years old and am having health crisis' one after the other and I need a tool to help me obtain lasting weight loss. I have researched and studied and gastric bypass is the solution I have been looking for.
So a new chapter begins. God is with me and will help me through this. I also know He uses people. So if anyone has any input to give as a help, please feel free to do so.
Thanks and God's blessings and favor be yours.
Melissa
