I saw my doctor today and I finally got the nerve to ask her about WLS. I was scared, sweating, and had a million things running through my head. I just wanted to do it and wait to hear the lecture about good eating habits and exercise. Surprisingly, she said "if you're interested in that, here is the information you will need." She even put my consultations in immediately.
I currently weigh 291 and I am 5'2. I am soooo ashamed to even post this but I know I must get it out in order to be free. I hope all goes well for me. I just want to be able to enjoy my life with my wonderful husband and 3 handsome boys. I have recently had knee problems and I can hardly climb stairs right now because of it. Needless to say, I can barely put lotion on my feet, fit in an airplane seat, and sit "indian" style on the floor with my kids. I do need this.
