New Beginning In 2012

Hello,

My name is Barbie, Im 35 years old, and im having gastric bypass surgery in 2 -3 weeks. I am currently a Type #2 diabetic and Im insulin dependent.

I have been denied a few times by insurance, but finally got the okay last march 2012. I just found this site/app and I love it!!

I realize I have a long, RoCkY road ahead of me, but im willing to work hard and fight everyday to be healthy.

Thank you.

Hang in there. The antibiotics made me so sick. I guess so there's nothing in your stomach. Good luck on your surgery. You'll be fine.

But my energy level is trough the roof now and I'm doing things I haven't been able to do in years.
