Hi, I'm Debbi. Just a little about me...I was normal size as a child all the way through high school. Of course I was active in sports (basketball, volleyball, track, cheerleader, etc). After high school I started gaining weight. But I was young and when I decided to go on a diet, the weight just came off no problem. I had the up and down weight problems for the next several years but found my way back to an active life and a comfortable weight. About four years ago I had to have surgery and was sidelined for several weeks for recovery. After that the weight just started piling on. Everytime I tried to get active again something else would go wrong (knee went out, then the ankle, then the back). Before I knew it the weight was out of control and dieting was not working. I tried EVERYTHING - if there was a diet out there I tried it and it didn't work. My doctor even put me on Phen Phen but all that did was make me jittery. This past June I asked my doctor for a referall for weight loss surgery and approved by my insurance provider.
I am looking forward to making new friends who are going through the same journey as I am so feel free to contact me!!!!
