Not sure I have a story. I'm tired of being fat and having to take pills for diabetes, high blood pressure, cholestrol, etc. I decided it was time to walk the walk and do something about it. I done all the testing, had the sleep study and  am currently waiting the outcome of my liver ultrasound to find out when, or if, surgery will take place. I thought my health was really pretty good. I feel fine, but apparently I'm slowly falling apart internally!  Update: had gall bladder out on 3/25 and am now waiting for ok from insurance. 2nd Update: Surgery was approved after being turned down twice. Now at 2nd day post op.
