Like many others I have struggled with my weight since childhood. Then as a teenager it was discovered that I had a brain tumor. I underwent surgery and the tumor was removed, it was benign (thank you Jesus). However my pituitary gland was destroyed/removed with the tumor. As you can imagine since the pituitary controls everything, I encountered all new hormonal, medication, and weight issues. As well I have an inoperable aneurysm (that is monitored yearly and I do not need excess weight with this health concern). I have tried every diet and experienced some success and a lot of no success with my weight. So at the age of 39 I have decided that I need to do something about my other illness (obesity). TOMORROW ( can't believe I just typed that) I will have VSG surgery and begin my journey of a better, healthier, and motivated new me!!! I look forward to sharing my journey and experiences with anyone that wants to read about them. Thank you for allowing me to tell a little about myself, and any prayers for tomorrow are appreciated.
