I am 62 disabled lady. I found Bariatric Pal from list UW Medicine hand out. I am New to all this. In process of qualifing for surgery. I have met my team, I have clear and sure steps I am to take and apointments to complete still. It first was recomended to me by a knee surgon specialest and that started my search. I have Diabeties and multiple health issues getting worse and the fear of losing my ability to walk at all, my inicial motivation. Beleive my Diabeties will be no more and I will some day after surgery be able to run again, health much improved. This online is new to me and a bit scary to me as I am a very private person and being this type of open a bit unnerving. I am easy going and have a varried work history from Driving Truck with x-husband to Government employee. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
