My first name is Kerri. I just attended the informational meeting last Thursday and I'm waiting for a return call from the doctor's office to see if my insurance company will approve me. I'm really excited about the possibility of getting surgery. I've been overweight/obese my entire adult life and I am just really frustrated with it. I've tried to lose weight so many times, and I have, but I always gain it back. I just want to be me, but a me who feels better and looks better. I have sleep apnea and high cholesterol, and I'm pre-diabetic. My birth-mother has had 4 heart attacks and has diabetes, and I dont want to go down that road!!
Thanks, Dani! When I first saw Kimberly Locke, I did think she kind of looked like me. Thats funny that someone else thinks so too. Yes, everyone has been so kind and I've only been here a day! My parents are tired of me talking about it. I think they are nervous about the whole thing. I'm nervous about it too, but knowing that so many people have done it too makes me feel a little better.
