48 days!

I have a Surgery date set for February 18th, 2005. The process was fast once I found the right surgeon. My first consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Matt Kirkland was November 30th, 2004. I had originally contacted the Bariatric Treatment Center a few years ago but they would not even let me have a consultation because I have a rare, slow-growing cancer. I was so fortunate to find Dr. Kirkland. He is a bariatric surgeon as well as a cancer and endocrine surgeon. My slow-growing cancer is an endocrine cancer. He's familiar with it and is willing to perform surgery. I have been about 300 pounds for almost 14 years. I was 263 when I got pregnant with my daughter in November 1990. My daughter has never seen me any other way but morbidly obese. I can't wait to play ball and take walks with her.

Well good for you young lady. You are one brave lady and that makes you extra extra special and God has a place reserved just for you. So you hang in there and you will see that everything works out for the best. Good luck and God Bless you and your little girl.
