Hi I'm Cathy. I had researched Weight Loss Surgery for a couple of years before I decided to make it a reality for myself. After attending Bariatric Help's conference in Atlanta in 2012, I decided a Sleeve was the best surgery option for me. My doctor in Pensacola, FL agreed and I've just completed my 6 month weight loss trial. Now we have a date set for surgery - 8/25 and I am getting super excited. I have been attending a local WLS support group for the past few months. I am so happy to have their support and knowledge and encouragement. Oh - I am 41 years old. I had a baby one year ago. I am 5'7" and about 271 lbs. I have no health problems to speak of (other than being obese) and take no medications, but I am showing signs of being pre-diabetic so this weight loss will ensure that I move away from that direction. I need to be fit and trim to keep up with my little girl and her older sisters (14 years old and almost 9). I look forward to corresponding with you all here. 45 days until surgery, and counting!! Thanks!
