I am a 39 year old wife and mother of 3. I live in the Twin Cities area. I have been yo yo dieting since I was 12 years old. When I was 2, I was run over by a riding lawn mower. The result is I have an amputated lower right leg. It really has not slowed me down, however it has caused me to be somewhat lazy about exercising, thus I have had a really hard time to lose weight and keep it off.
I have friends who have had WLS and I had been thinking about it over the past year. My doctor casually mentioned it and that was all it took. I have been so preoccupied with learning all I can about the surgeries. I have submitted my paperwork and am waiting to hear if I qualify. My BMI is not quite 40, but I have such pain, associated with my leg and back due to the extra weight that I am hoping they will consider me.
I am so glad I found this sight!
