I am a 30 year old female. I have been battling obesity for the majority of my life. I kept telling myself that I will start a diet tomorrow or next week. Well, as we all know tomorrow never comes and neither did next week. I would tell myself "Ok, today I am gonna control what I eat and eat good". That did not last too long, if at all. I was progressively getting heavier. It would bother me how heavy I was getting, but it really hit me when I had to go to the store to buy clothes. I was climbing up in sizes. Where was I going to shop at in a year or so? I never thought I would consider WLS. I was very uneducated at the time and I thought it was the easy way out, the lazy persons way to do things. Now as a WLS pt, I see how wrong I was. This is the best decision I have ever made. I had surgery November 12, 2007 with Dr Pupkova at Barix in Langhorne. I am 6 weeks out and I have lost 50lbs. My scrubs are too big for me, I no longer have any jeans that fit me and I am getting into clothes that I have not worn for about 5 years. It is a wonderful feeling. I never in my life remember anything being "too big" for me. I still have a way to go, but I am on my way and what a wonderful feeling this is!!!!!!!!
