I am just now beginning my journey.  I have been overweight for a very long time.  It honestly feels like since birth.  However, my first recollection of being overweight was in Junior High School.  Everyone was eating pizza and chicken strips and I was eating boiled eggs and Slender.  I, like probably most of you, have tried just about everything.  Recently two of my friends had the surgery done and I realized I wanted this too.  I began the research and through some online contact and information I chose Dr. Ferrari from Houston.  Today was my first meeting with him and it went well.  What a blessing to hear it is not your fault and that your metabolism has slowed down to a crawl and is not going to pick back up without having this surgery.  I was worried that my diagnosis of Lupus would change things but it was not an issue at all.  I realize the Lupus will not go away but I am excited to know my joints will more than likely feel better and I can finally regain my energy.
