Hello there, My name is Sarah and I'm 31 years old. I have been heavy all of my life. I remember my mother telling me that I started gaining noticeable weight after third grade. I have been on all the crazy and hopefull diets as the rest of you have and nothing ever worked. I have been planning to have Lapband surgery for almost two years now. It has been a long hard process but I have finally received my preauthorization for approval from my insurance company last week. The surgery is scheduled for June 20, 2007. I have never been truely happy with my outer self. I have suffered from depression since I was around 17 years of age. I know that my weight has been a major factor in this. Since it is so hard to look in the mirror and hard to go out with friends due to the excess body weight. I just want to have a healthy life again and feel proud to go out and "strut my stuff". I want to be able to make the guys head turn when I walk past. I just want to be able to hold my head high. I do have a wonderful support system. I am engaged to an absolutely wonderful man and have a gorgeous stepdaughter. They both support me and my decisions in the surgery process. My fiance has even offered to go on the two week all liquid diet with me to help ensure my sucess. He is fantastic. I want to meet others who have had the surgery and be able to compare stories and she receipes. We're all here for mostly the same reason and thats to become healthier and to WANT to be apart of society! |
