LifeStarts WLS
Introduction - New person in the Group
Hi everyone, I joined ObesityHelp as well as LifeStarts to gleam any insight prior to surgery and receive and give support following surgery.I live in Eastern Oklahoma and have been active all my life until about 20 years ago. (if your 20 years old that is a long time) but for someone who is 63 it's not.
Although I have fought weight loss all my life -- I have been obese for the last 20 of those 63 years. It has been getting worse every year - no every month and have invested money in everything from Treadmills, bikes (both stationary as well as real bike)… every diet to this part of the world.
I am tired.. tired of knowing that when I lose 5 pounds -- 10 comes back. I need a light and now the Sleeve I'm having July 17 in Dallas is it.I'm frighten to do something that drastic to my body, but as I look into the mirror I know it has to be done. I'm upset that I can't share this with my close family - my mom who is 84 and my sister who has a mental problem due to a pituitary tumor.I am happy that I can share and receive support from my loving husband - John. He and I were married 2 years ago - feb 14…. I was a widow for over 2 years prior to our meeting..I'm a Christian and hopefully some of you who are too will keep me in your prayers… as I will you. You who are not please send good vibes to me..Thank you for your time. I look forward to talking to each and every one of you.Linda
Dear Linda,
I'm so glad you found us. I hope you feel welcome & cared for.
I had RNY 12-21-09 It's been the best thing I've ever done for myself.
My diabetes is gone, sleep apnea better, arthritis better. I'm exercising
regularly (first time in a long long time)
You will soon be on the other side of this surgery and off on an amazing
journey. I can't wait to hear all about your journey.
Keep us posted as you are able.
You are in my prayers~
Hugs
Annie
