In the process of getting my surgery, attend a seminar last week. I started this whole process around 6 months ago but switched suregons and I am starting over. I have struggled for over 10 years wth my weight. The last 3 years I have been very unsuccesful in dieting, I lose and then put it all back on plus some. My health has been affected by this as well as my mood, and ability to want to get up and moving. I am hoping this surgery aids in the amount of food i intake, gets my blood pressure under control and gives me a more positve outlook on my health. I want to be healthy, engergized and a great role module for my children and others struggling with weight issues.
