Hi All,
Well, i wanted to share something with all of you. I have been battling morbid obesity for many years. I have tried all of the diets on this earth, was sucessful on weight watchers before but just always ended up, gaining it all back.
so, i have been in contact, and have had an evaluation with a Bariatric Surgeon, and I have been approved for a gastric bypass.
I will be having the surgery, in July or August. I plan on losing about 180 pounds, so it will take me a while, but they say i should lose about 120 in a year!!
I have suffered with chronic pain due to my spinal stenosis, and arthritis in my back, legs, hips and knees. I can hardly walk. My Dr's have all told me, that this surgery will save my life. I am so excited to share this with all of you.
So, when the time comes, I will ask you for your prayers, that I come thru this surgery well, even with having COPD, and Congestive Heart failure. My cardiologist and all of my dr's, have approved me as safe to have this done.
Hugs,
Boo
