Year after year I struggled with my weight. I’d lose a few pounds, and find twice as many. I struggled with physical pain as well as mental anguish. The opportunity to find success came in the forms of two physicians I trusted and the example set by my daughter, Jessica. Fully supported by family, friends and a professional staff, I had bariatric surgery September 22, 2008. Now, halfway to my goal in 8 months, I walk, sit, stand, and work without pain. Old friends frequently won’t even recognize me. I even get call “skinny”. I feel like a newer, younger and happier person, and I am not done yet. It’s not an easy road but it’s well worth the trip. |
