Where do i begin..... I have always been over weight. I just turned 40 this year and it hit me if I want to be here for the next 20yrs or more, then I need to do something now. I have a 3 yr old daughter and want to be here to watch her grow. I was diagnosed with type 2 DIABETES in 1998 when I turned 30!! So it was Happy Birthday" to me. I was put on an Insulin Pump in May 2004 after 2 miscarriages. I have high blood pressure. So I am ready for this "Life CHANGE". Hopefully I get approved for the surgery. So my Journey began June 11th...........I attended the Informational, I had my first dietician appt, June 2, 2008. Second one scheduled for July 7th. July 1st I have to see the nurse, then the dietician at the WLS Dept.
Update: I had RNY on December 17, 2008 my journey has begun......stay tuned
