So about 14 years ago some pretty major things happened in my life to cause infection and need for steriods. This all occurring my freshman year in college. I then stopped exercise and began eating poorly and was on steroids. My boyfriend now husband has always been supportive of me and my endless diet efforts and physician assisted weight loss programs over the years. Unable to conceive Bc of infertility I started thinking about weight loss surgery. After 8 years trying to find out more about the subject and failed attempts to loose weight I finally have a job who's insurance covers the procedure. I immediately prayed about the process contacted the doctor, dr. William Johnson with Atlanta bariatrics. I went through 5 months of tests and approvals. Here I am 1 week post op feeling amazing. I weighed Tuesday and have lost 15 lbs so far. I'm just now battling with craving for food. I have never been be fan of shakes. Hey it is worth It! Good luck to all of you! Hope my story helps!
