Hi My name is Lisa ,33, I am from a very small rural community
. I all my life have struggled with weight, except for when I was born (ha!ha), I always tease my mom because when I was born I weighed 5#'s and I tell her she was bound and determined to take me home and fatten me up!! Boy Oh Boy did she ever
!! My life has been a rollar coaster this last 3 years and filled with many personal struggles that have brought me to this point. I have always been a yo-yo dieter with ups and downs of pounds. When no one else has been there food has, but it physically does not love me, it has just made my life worse and sad to say, I let it. I have wollared in my own dissappointment for too many years and now it is time to get on track and live a healthy life. I am 5'5 and I weigh 280, I cannot believe that I let people, things and insecurities and most of all myself get to this stage. I have been on this web site now for a month researching and reading other peoples stories, what inspiration so many of you have given me. I am scared to take this journey, but also excited. I have researched WLS now for a year and made my decision to do this about 5 months ago. I have sleep apnea, metabolic syndrom, hyperlipidemia, asthma,edema, arthritis, fibromyalgia, scolliosis and get severe migraines what a train wreck huh!!! So getting the approval from insurance only took 2 weeks and I was approved. Yeah!!!! So my surgery date is March 31,2008. I am a single mom with 2 beautiful and wonderful children and I am scared to death that if I do not do this they will not have their mom for long BUT I am also scarred doing this that they may lay me on that table and I may never see my children again. I am here to make friends and walk this journey with someone who I can relate too.
Please pray for me and join me in my new journey
God Bless All
