Hi!
I am 56 years young, and have 3 grown daughters and 6 grandchildren who are the joy of my life! This past year I have had some health problems crop up, seems like one thing right after another....(Dr. to me... " we need to do a liver scan,....we need to add another bp med,...we need to do a stress test,....you need an angioplasty,....time for Lipitor,....also thyroid meds,......woops you appear to be diabetic,.....let's do a uterine biopsy,.....how about another just to be on the safe side,.........and it always comes back to " Well, sometimes people that carry extra weight, bla bla bla" OK God I get it!! It's time!!
I want to be around to see my grandbabies have babies! So after a lot of soul searching, I admitted that yes, I am a food addict, and no, I was not going to be successful at getting and keeping this poundage off by myself. I know myself, and it was going to have to be more drastic than just starting another diet.
So after some research, I decided to start looking into gastric banding.I'm hoping and praying that this will be the tool that I need to be successful. And after finding out that my insurance would pay for it if I met the critera, (which I do) I felt like I would be foolish not to take this opportunity. So bring on my Band!! I would like a pretty pink one please!
