Thanks everyone for the welcome! I'm really excited about this journey. I'm also nervous but I know that I'm doing the right thing for myself and my kids. I'm very aware of the complications that can occur when you don't listen to your Dr, my sister in law had this done several years ago and her story has left me with a healthy respect for following Dr's orders. I know I'm still going to have to do the work, that the Dr isn't waiving a magic wand over me and making the lbs melt away that he's using a scalpel and arming me with a tool, which if used correctly can add many precious years to my life. My Mom had a heart attack at 45 and both of my grandmothers had diabetes and died of congestive heart failure in their 60's, currently I don't have diabetes but I do have hypertension and I know that's what I'm looking at if I don't do something now.
I'm so happy to have found all of you! Thanks again for the welcome, I look forward to getting to know all of you better!
