The Beginning Of My Story

I'm 25 years old and obese. I've struggled with my weight ever since my first year of elementary school. I decided to do the RNY operation in August 2011 and started the process of a 6 month insurance required pre op plan. Due to life events prior to the decision, I have anxiety plus depression issues and was put on a psychiatric evaluation for an additional amount of time. I've cleared the evaluation and the pre op insurance plan, it's finally time to get the ball rolling with the weight loss center. I'm a little nervous about the operation being so permanent but I know that the end result will be better than living life plus sized and sick.
