Well my story isn't much different from others on this site. I am 30 years old with a wonderful husband and three adorable kids, ages 8 yrs, 2 yrs, and 8 months old. I have been introduced to this site through a co-worker who told me about the site after I found out my doctor wanted me to consider the Gastric Bypass surgery. I have been tested for at risk of a heart attack and as a result, need to have the surgery to stay alive for my kids and to watch them grow up. I am in the process of waiting for the insurance approval. I have had the Physco evaluation and the Gallblatter ultrasound. Tomorrow I have my nutritionist appointment. Then next week I go in for the Sleep study and the last but not least appointment is for the endoscopy procedure. Gotta love those! : ) I am optomistic about my outcome. I know that my life is in God's hands. I have heard a lot of bad things and have even had people try to talk me out of having the surgery. But I know this is needed to stay alive. Not even for becoming skinny really. My husband is nervous that I will feel like I deserve better after my surgery. So he think I will leave him. That will not happen. I am so happy with my marriage and my kids, that I need them. I am not going to change who I am, just what others will see on the outside. I mainly want to be healthy again. And the less weight is just the beginning for me and my family!
