Travis,
My family is riddled with heart disease and diabetes, so I can relate to losing loved ones too soon. And, the fear of it happening to me! That's why I'm here, too.
I just know my mom would have done something like this if she would have had the options back then...she loved being around to take in all the stray kids, and love on grandbabies!
We're offered an opportunity...isn't that great?! I never dreamed of being thin! And, now, after having diabetes since I was 33, and high bp etc etc...I thought I had a death sentence.
It can be a tough road to surgery approval, and then all the adjustments around this procedure, but just look at those little girls, and keep tapped in here, and push thru it!
Good to have you here!
Patty
