6) What are your future goals in your life now.  To get healthy and maintain.

1).   What made you decide to have WLS ??  Several things influenced my decision.  Probably the straw that broke the camel's back was being diagnosed as pre-diabetic and starting to take oral insulin.  Even with that though, I probably never would have worked up the nerve to have WLS until I talked at length with someone who had WLS and was willing to share his story.

2)   How much have you lost thus far in your journey.  125 pounds

3)   Do you have friends who have had WLS due to your success???  My brother had lap band surgery about 2 weeks ago.  My husband's co-worker had RNY about 4 weeks ago.  I'm hoping my 2 sisters will have surgery too.

5)  How have you changed personally changed since WLS.  I've always been pretty a pretty gung ho person, but for the last 20 years or so I didn't do many things because of my weight.  I lived my life in the future.  You know ... I'm going to do that when I lose weight.  I don't have to worry about my weight stopping me from doing anything now.  It's helping me recover my old self ... and be more like the real me I was when I was younger and thinner.

6) What are your future goals in your life now.  I've never been a very "goal oreinted" person.  I just take life as it comes.  But, this I know for sure, because of my new healthier lifestyle, I'm ready for whatever life brings.  I would not ask for more than that.

2)   How much have you lost thus far in your journey.  Depending on the day it's between 100-105

3)   Do you have friends who have had WLS due to your success???  No not yet.  I have friends that had surgery before me.  I also have friends that had surgery after me but they were not aware that I had the surgery until after they did.  But they have come to me for advice since their surgery which has been uplifting to me to know that I could help them.

1).   What made you decide to have WLS ?? Well I had been wanting lap band but the more I thought about it RNY was better for me. Kept putting it off until my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had just lost about 15 pounds over the few months before. If she had not lost the weight she would not have found the lump and it was very aggressive. That is when I got my wake up call.
