Ht8no1
Even though others have told me otherwise, I feel like I have been overweight as long as I can remember. I have never liked myself much and it worsened when I went through puberty & seemed to just keep putting on weight which was weird because I was a tomboy and was always playing sports with the boys and riding my bike (which had no gears) everywhere. I began skipping meals and trying all kinds of diets from The Cambridge Diet, grape & rice diet, banana & skim milk diet, South Beach, Atkins, popcorn, purging after meals to just about anything else you can imagine. At this point I have been told by several doctors that my metabolism is screwed up royally!! I have researched GB for years and finally have the blessing of my husband. He is eager for it to be over as he is sure that I will be 'different'.....I think the fact that I am now diabetic, hypertensive, hyperlipidemic, and suffering from heart problems and neuropathy has helped him to see the light. He has seen how much pain and anguish I have been going through. My surgery date is fast approaching and I am both excited as well as apprehensive. I can't wait to throw out my meds and fat clothes!!!!!!! I so hope and pray that the surgery works for me!
