    • About Me

      I am a mother, a daughter, a sister, a grandmother. I am so tired of being overweight and feeling like I can't do much of anything. I am very excited about having the surgery and I know that, with God's help, it will be a successful venture.

      I wanted to say thanks for your encouragement you give me. I know that the exercise is hard, but I force myself to do it basically 3-4 times per week. You will feel so much better if you do. Hang in there. It is hard, but the results become amazing....

      I am just starting the process. I am actually 1 month shy of finishing my 6 month requirement of doctor directed program for weight loss. At the end of this month I will be able to submit everything to my insurance company and will hopefully get approval for the surgery. I am very excited and hope everything goes through without any problems
