MY WLS JOURNEY BEGAN A VERY LONG TIME AGO 2005. I RESEARCHED AND RESEARCHED THE PROCEDURE BUT HAD MANY QUESTIONS AND FEARS. AS TIME WENT ON AND AFTER SEVERAL DIET ATTEMPTS, I FINALLY GOT FED UP. WEIGHT GOING UP AND DOWN, MY HIGHEST BEING NOW, 263LBS. I HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN THIS BIG BUT AFTER HAVING THREE ADORABLE CHILDREN AND OTHER "FEMALE" ISSUES, THE WEIGHT HAS COME AND AND STAYED. I AM NOW BEGINNING TO SEE AND FEEL THE AFFECTS IT HAS ON THE BODY. HYPERTENSION HAS ALWAY BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME. I MEAN SKYROCKETING 
DIZZY, YOU SHOULD BE "STROKING OUT" NUMBERS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GAIN CONTROL, I HAVE FINALLY GOT IT A LITTLE BETTER WITH THE RIGHT MEDICATION. NEWLY DIAGNOSED WITH SLEEP APNEA, NOT A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP IN MONTHS, PERHAPS YEARS, EDEMA THAT KEEPS ME FROM WALKING AND DOING OUTDOOR THINGS I LIKE SUCH AS PLANTING AND BICYCLING. 
I AM 40 YEARS OLD THIS PAST JULY. MY CHILDREN ARE 18 AND OLDER, NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO MYSELF, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OUT. A TOTAL CLEANSING OF THE MINDY, BODY AND SPIRIT AND SOUL. I HAVE DECIDED WLS BECASUE I HAVE SO MANY UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS AT THIS AND NOW I'VE CONCEEDED, IT'S TIME FOR HELP. I AM NOT AFRAID TO ADMITT THAT I FAILED BUT GOD SAID "IF I MAKE ONE STEP HE WILL MAKE TWO AND THE TIMES I FEEL I CAN'T GO ON, HE WILL CARRY ME THROUGH". i BELIEVE AND IT SHALL BE. AMEN!
