Hello Roberta,
Nice to meet you. I am Sherry from South Carolina. I too am in the process and still talking to my Dr. on have WLS.
I went in to see a Dr. about having surgery for my Reflux, and as he was explaining what he would have to do, I ask (just kidding) if he could do gastric surgery while he was in me.
OMG,,,,,,,,,,,,he told me, "Yes, he was just thinking the same thing.
Never in a million years did I think I could have this done.
 Long story short, I met with Dr who would do my surgery. He was super nice and gave  me alot to think about.
  That was 2 wks ago today and I have another appt. with him next Monday to talk with him again.
  I am scared but this is something I have prayed about for years and believe its God's answer to my prayers.
I am 5'3 , weigh 232 and 55 yrs. old.  I don't feel that old either. lol
 I have two grown children, both married and happy. My husband tells me he will support me in my decision.  We have been married over 35 yrs.
  Would love to keep up with your progress , and maybe we can help each other,
God BLess,
Sherry

Sherry,

Thank you for the responce. It is nice to meet others that are in the process and to read the excitment. I started  my journey on June 27th and will soon have a surgery date. I am a mother of 4 boys who are ages 16,13,10,&6. My husband and I have been married for 21 years and been through a ton. He supports me with my choice to have the surgery done and has been following the diet with me.... My insurance has a pre op diet in place to help us along to meet our surgery goal.  My highest weight was 305 and currently resting at 254.4 lbs. Im 5'5" and am 39 years old. My best friend had the surgery done a year and half ago and has had great success. I have been very lucky to get great information from everyone one who is caring for me. I look forward to getting to know you and support you through the process. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
