ALOHA KAKOU!!

Well I am fairly new here and a native of the islands!!  Born and raised on Oahu and after years of battling the weight demon over the years since I was a child...I have finally decided to say 'FORGET YOU EVIL DEMON!' and realize..I need a little extra help-- so here I am trying to check out all my options here on Oahu and see what will work for me!  This board doesn't look like it gets too many visitors but figured...what the hell, time to revive it!!  STAT!!  I'm loving reading everyone's journey thus far and hopefully be able to do what everyone else was able to do...take control of your life back!  With Jesus Christ by me I know that if I'm meant to get this surgery everything WILL fall into place at the right time^^  Anyways...AHUI HOU MALAMA PONO!!!
