Hey everyone. I just thought I better introduce myself. I have been reading here for a long time, and I decided that now is the time to jump in. Here is just a little about me and where I am...
I am 24, and my Dr. started talking to me about WLS about 3 years ago. I did not think I was even ready to consider it at that point in my life. I never felt I was "big enough" for WLS, but I have always been quite large...About a year ago, I found out I have diabetes. I really felt like my life was over. Even if it wasnt, I sure felt like I had just received a death sentence. That was about 3 months before my Wedding. So it has been quite a roller coaster. I am now on insulin, and have more fat than ever in my life, although I am not my heaviest now. I have a BMI of 36, diabetes, high cholesterol, and my BP has been creeping up for a few months...Enough is enough already. I am ready to change my life, to save my life. I have been pursuing this for the past few months with the hospital I will be going to, and I have not even seen the surgeon yet. Hopefully I will have my first surgical consult scheduled by next week, but who knows. I am also praying that the insurance will cover me. This is the slowest process...and I am so impatient. I am not sure which surgery I want as of yet. I am trying to research as much as possible before I make a desision. This is by far one of the hardest things I have ever taken on. This website has been a HUGE inspiration to me. I am glad I found you. I look forward to getting to know you all more, and gaining all the knowledge I can. Hopefully I will be able to offer something to you in the future
Thanks in advance
