Nicole Jackson
Hello my OH family. I absolutely LOVE this site, it’s my favorite. My name is Nicole Jackson. I am 34 years old and very happily married. I have researched this surgery for about 4 years now. I initially created a profile back then, but for the life of me I can’t remember my password. So much has changed within those 4 years, but my weight hasn’t changed much. In February 2004 I was told by my pcp that I am diabetic, adult onset diabetes. That was an eye-opener for me. I started on my quest to be a much healthier individual, because I want to live a nice, long, healthy life. I started working out in April 2004 and haven’t stopped. I work out 4-5 times a week. I do it all cardio, weight training, bike riding anything to get that heart rate up. I am very active, but the scales don’t reflect my activity……..LOL!!! I currently weigh 247 pounds, I am 5’5” and according to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention my BMI is 41.1. So, to make short of a long story, I am ready for this surgery. I have done four years of research and I have the support of my husband and the important people in my life. Notice, I didn’t say family. Sometimes family members/co-workers can be very negative and at this point in my life I only deal with POSITIVE people!!!!!! I have scheduled my first group consultation with Dr. Dennis Smith. I am very excited. I will keep you guys posted.
