Hi All,

I'm a 38 year old, bi-racial gal who has been overweight most of her life. I've done everything from weight watchers to Jenny Craig and never with long term success. Over the years I've accepted myself, gotten used to being overweight and have become comfortable in my skin until recently when I developed high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My blood sugars have also crept up in the past few years so I began looking for a permanent solution in WLS. I've just completed the required 6 months supervised diet with a nutritionist and had an endoscopy that revealed a hiatal hernia. I plan to have that repaired along with the sleeve as well as gallbladder removal. Everything has been submitted to insurance for approval and now I just have to hurry up and wait...lol
