needing_a_change
Hi all! My name is Amber and I have been over weight all my life. I am in drastic need of a change, meaning I really need to lose weight. I am currently at my highest weight I have ever been and have recently been told I am pre-diabetic. Diabetes runs in my family and if I do not get my weight under control, I will be right up there with the rest of my family that has it! A really good friend of mine had gastric bypass back in 2008 and has lost over 300 lbs. He took me to a few classes with him and that got me to thinking about having the surgery myself. I moved back home recently and another friend of mine who I have known for years had it a few years ago. She looks amazing and I am getting advice from her. I really believe that having this surgery will be a big beneficial tool to help me get healthy and live a longer healthier life. My family and my boyfriend are my world...I want to be around for a long long time and be able to do things with them.
