My Story............................Well where do I start????? My name is Judy V and I am 43 years old. I have been overweight now for almost 8 years. I have high bp, high cholesterol, I take prevecid every day for acid reflux and my sugar is alittle high. I have a bmi of 43. In the books that is considered morbidly obese. In other words, I am not healthy............................I am married to a very supportive hubby for 25 years now and I have 3 great kids that are behind my descision for WLS 110%. All I really want is to be able to feel great, look great and be around to enjoy grandchildren someday. I was married at the age of 18 and had my children young, so my husband and I are looking forward to growing old together. Right now, I'm just looking forward to "shrinking" old with him......My nickname use to be "Twiggy" when I was younger, When I got married I weighed 112 lbs. I know that I'll never be that small again, but I'm looking forward to the day when I can say that I'm truely a "Looser". I started my journey back in Dec of 06 when I made my first phone call to the Barix in Langhorne. I was so excited about all of this. I got my phone call in Jan of 07 to let me know that I had a consultation with Dr. Brader on March 1st, 07. When I had my consultation with Dr. Brader, he made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I have known him a long time. My husband, Fernando, was ver impressed with him too. Right now I'm still waiting for approval from my insurance company (Aetna). They are real sticklers.....Anyway, I still have to see a Nut, and get a sleep apnea test done. I already had an echocardiagram that came back okay........ So my journey continues......I know it won't happen overnight, I didn't get this way overnight.............But I'm looking forward to a Healthy, Happy Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!
