Introduce yourself fools~!
Hi, my name is Diane and I live in Covington, La. I had gastric bypass in 2005. I have a wonderful supportive husband, a 22 year old son a 21 year old daughter, and several pets. My support system is awesome. I am back on the boards because I'm in the process of starting consults to decide what to do about continuing my weight loss
I started gaining weight back in 2010 after becoming severely anemic and craving salt. With craving salt I replaced every snack and as many meals as I could with salt (potato chips). Finally my anemia has been addressed and the salt cravings are gone, but the damage is done. Because I have some other medical issues a few of my drs have asked me to seriously consider revision of my bypass. So I have 2 consults set up for the last week of February. I hope to get to know some of you :)

HI! I AM TAVONJIA SCOTT AND I AM A 41 YEAR OLD SOCIAL WORKER LIVING IN ABBEVILLE AND WORKING IN LAFAYETTE. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING FOR INSURANCE APPROVAL WITH DR. BELLOWS IN NEW ORELANS.
I AM EXCITED, SCARED, NERVOUS BUT READY FOR THIS LIFE CHANGING SITUATION. I WAS ALWAYS THE BIGGEST IN MY GROUP OF FRIENDS. I CAN VIVIDLY REMEBER WEIGHING 155 LBS WEARING A SIZE 13/14 AND JUST THOUGHT I WAS HUGE (CANT WAIT TO GET BACK IN THAT SIZE) BUT AT THAT TIME ALL MY FRIENDS WERE 5/7/9. I REMEBER BEING IN AN 18 AND THOUGHT I WAS GIGANTIC BUT AGAIN MY FRIENDS WERE IN 12/14.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY LIFE AGAIN. I USE TO BE ACTIVE IN BASKETBALL, SOFTBALL, BOWLING AND I LOVE TO TRAVEL. BUT MY WEIGHT HAS MADE EVERYTHING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. AND NOT TO MENTION THE EMBARRASMENT OF HAVING TO GET A SEAT BELT EXTENSION ON THE PLANE. THAT IS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I WANT TO DO AFTER I LOSE WEIGHT IS TO TRAVEL WITH MY JOB AND COWORKERS AND NOT HAVE TO BE THE ONLY ONE REQUESTING AN EXTENSION.
