Just Getting Started
Hello everyone, my name is Sarah and I am considering having gastric bypass surgery. I have been doing A LOT of research about the proceedure and I have also been watching videos and reading other patients success stories. I would be extatic if some of you would be willing to share your stories with me. I want to hear it all, not just the good. I have my information session on April 8th. I have been overweight all of my life and have tried EVERYTHING! I have been dieting since I was about 11 years old and I am hoping that this will be the tool to help me proceed with and maintain my weight loss. During my pregnancy with my son, I became borderline diabetic with gestational diabetes and I had high blood pressure. I also just lost what would have been my second child to a miscarriage. My doctor said that my weight may have played a small role in that. This is just a small list of things but I also want to have the surgery as a preventative move. There are a lot of health issues in my family and I would like to stop them before they start. Many of my family members are overweight and I would like to be able to break that chain and set a good example for my son. So please, if you would all share your stories, this would help me in my decision making process. Feel free to e-mail them to me at: angel14_28@yahoo.com. Thank you.
