I MADE MY DECISION AND I WANT TO THANK YOU!

Well, first of all , I need to thank all of you for educating me, letting me read your stories, and being honest! I talked to my doctor today,, and he was so impressed with the knowledge that I had gained, (because of you all) that he agreed to support me completely on my WLS!! Yipppeeeee!! My daughter supports me,, so do my sisters, (all thin) and my husband says its MY body, and he loves me no matter what size I am!! OMG,, I am meeting at the Barix Clinic, in Ypsi. on Monday Feb 6th, for my first leg of the journey to "normal and healthy". I am leaning towards the lap band, as my doctor said that even a loss of 50-60 pounds would profoundly affect my health. Plus, I have weighed all the options and this is what I want. I just wanted to share this with you all,, and tell you how important this forum is. I will be letting you know what happens. Thanks again.

Congratulations, Annette, on coming to this important decision and place in your life! I just know you are going to love Barix Clinics!
