Hi Sandra, I've been battling doing surgery for over a year now and I have to say that finding your page was like a God-send! First and foremost, you are absolutely beautiful...inside and out. Your candid honestly and whole-hearted nature are evident in your personal journey illustrated on your page. You have inspired me to take the enxt step in my weight loss journey to the consultation...I've been so scared and have had a lack of famimly support. I'm only 23 years old but I've been living in an obese body for almost my whole life because those baby fat early childhood years. So thank you for sharing your whole experience, from start to finish, with indecisive members such as myself, who one day hope to emulate the same generosity you have graciosuly bestowed to WLS support groups. Best of luck in all your endeavors.
