Hi, my name is Beth. I am married the second time. I have two beautiful daughters, one is 17 and still at home, the other is almost 20 and lives on her own. I have one step daughter and two stepsons, they are all grown. From my stepchildren i have four delightful grandchildren. I have been overweight since early in my teens, I am 44 now. When I was on my teen years I went on a diet and lost wight and got to a good size, and looked good. In my head I was still fat. i put on the weight again and then some. Over the years I just gained more. I am currently at my heaviest. I have arthritis in my right knee and have pain 24/7. I have been to several doctors and had several different types of treatments, nothing has helped except to stay off my feet. The last Dr. told me of course losing weight would help. I had thought of WLS but never seriously until then. My husband wasn't against it like I thought he would be! I contacted the surgeon's office and got into the required seminar the next day! I waited three weeks more to see the surgeon the first time and have my first of six nutritionist visits that are required for my insurance to approve my surgery. I should be done with the visits in June, then we will go from there! I can hardly wait. I had fooled myself into thinking I would just live with being fat, but really I am not happy with it. I can't wait to go to a clothing store and not have to shop in the plus size section!
