Hello, I have been morbidly obese for the last two years. I once tipped the scales at 326. I went on a liquid weight loss program. I lost about 70lbs and began to get sick. The doctors did not know what were the causes of my symptoms. I underwent various medical tests. This past June of 09, I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I'm allergic to wheat/gluten go figure. That's why I had to stop the liquid diet becuase it was full of both wheat and gluten. So, here I am, still obese and desperately needing a new way of life. I currently suffer from diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and high cholesterol. I take 9 pills a day and I'm just 42. I have to change or I will not be here for my 3 children ages 9,11, and 12 or my husband. It is very important for me to take my life back so I can enjoy some of the things that I used to do.
With all that being said, I had the VGB done on the 29th of December in 2009. My presurgery weight was 302. Seven days post-op and I'm feeling great. Praise be to God that I have not suffered much pain or had any negative symptoms thus far.
I welcome any friends that would like to keep in touch as I take this journey down the weight loss road. May God Bless everyone with good health, joy, peace, and prosperity in 2010!
