Overweight and sick and tired of being sick and tired....
Here I am at 32 years old and I am overweight and at the point where things have become uncomfortable. I have decided that I am going to have gastric bypass surgery. I have told a few family members and friends of my decision and I have gotten some good results and some that are not so good. My mother is not my number one fan. She feels that I should start eating better and working out everyday. That's not the case here. I've tried almost every diet that there is on the market and I cannot tell a lie and say that those diets did not work because they did, short term, but the weight always came back and most times I gained more than I lost. I am ready for this journey and willing to make any changes that I need to make in order to become successful at what I am attempting. I chose a surgeon but his employees really made me feel as if they had not a clue as to what was going on. I found someone on this site who is probably close to where I live. She had an amazing experience with a surgeon and although he is over 2 hours away from where I live, I have decided to use him. Anyone who's in SC and close to Greenville, please consider Dr. Scott or Dr. Bour. It's more than a surgery, it's a life changing event. They realized that an implemented so many other things than just filling out papers. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery by August or September 2012.
