I am 31 years old and have been overweight all of my adult life.  I suffer with obesity, type 1 diabetes, high cholesterol, and "mild" sleep apnea.  I take large doses of insulin and my blood sugar is out of control.  I have considered this decision to have surgery for 2 years, but always came back to the "I can do it myself" mantra.  And I did do it myself, I'd drop 20 pounds, and gain back 25-30!!  I finally faced the fact that I needed help.  So, I went to the seminar for weight loss surgery and began my journey a little over a month ago.  I do not have a surgery date at this time, but I'm working hard!!
