I've been struggling with my weight for a really long time. I dont even know how it got so out of hand. My big problem is I didnt see what everyone else saw. I knew I was bigger than I should be but I didnt realize I was THAT BIG!!! I tried a number of things to lose the weight and it may have helped temporarily but I cant seem to keep it off. I thought about having surgery about a year ago but I didnt know that I met the qualifications. I got to the point where I needed to do something because I found myself increasingly uphappy and I knew it was time for a big change, so I got on the internet and started my search. I found a wonderful surgeon (who was in my insurance plan...HUGE PLUS) and I started my journey. I really hope this works out!!! FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED :)
