I had begun to consider the idea of Weight Loss Surgery in 2001, however the doctor I had at the time didn't believe in this type of surgery and wouldn't refer me. We had changed base housing in Sept. 2002, and I had changed doctors at that time as well. In July 2003 I went to my new doctor and asked her about Gastric Bypass surgery as a weight loss tool. She believed me to be a good candidate and immediately wrote out a referral for me. Things have been snowballing ever since! After a lot of phone calls, some blood work, and pre-op tests and classes, here I am! I am having the surgery performed at Chapman Medical by Dr. Milton Owens of the Coastal Center for Obesity on Sept. 2nd. I am nervous about surgery, but excited about taking control of my life and having this life saving tool to become a healthier, more beautiful woman. ObesityHelp.com has been a WONDERFUL and helpful website, the testimonials, and the before and after photos are SO encouraging!
I am ready to do this! See you all on the losing side soon! |
