Copied from my old OH page from Sept 2004.
I am a 38 year-old single female, no children, and my goal weight is 135 bs. I'm so ready for a change. I want to be healthier and I feel that WLS is my best hope for a healthy and life. I want to have the energy to work in my garden, walk, jog, etc. My co-morbidities include High Blood Pressure, Asthma, and Sleep Apnea. I am also borderline diabetic.
2/18/04 – I attended Dr. Ross’s WLS seminar tonight. This was the second one that i was scheduled to attend. I finally made it to one. It was very informative. I called and Diane a left a message that I wanted to schedule an appointment for a consultation.
7/20/04 – Consultation with Norma – reviewed my paperwork, took a written personality test, some of the questions were way out there. It showed that I am normal, level headed, practical and diplomatic.
