I’ve come to the point that I don’t want to live the obese and overweight life anymore. I want to make a change, be a change and receive a change. If there’s any help you can send my way please do so.

Emicia, you have also helped me in another way, I didn’t know what your condition was so I looked it up and found that I should visit my doctor since I can check 12 out of 13 symptoms on the list. I have been having those issues for a few years now and no explanation for the periods or the weight gain even when I don’t eat. I’m wondering now if it’s just getting worse since now I have hoarse to no voice at all very often. I’m going to look into this…thanks for a clue cuz my doctor obviously didn’t have any option but WLS. Everything with her is lose weight, feel great! smh

Karen, your story really brought a tear to my eye. My mother is wheelchair bound because she is too overweight to stand up on her arthritic knees. She is in her late 80’s, but she has the spirit of a woman in her 50’s. She loves visiting Casinos, however, she is now in a nursing home because she kept falling on the floor and she was too heavy for me to get her up. One Christmas day, I had to call EMS to get her up off of the floor. That literally tore my heart in half. Now, I am eating right and exercising and I am coaching her on how to eat the right foods on her plate in the nursing home. I am also teaching her some exercises that she can do from her wheelchair. I pray that she will lose some weight so that she will be able to stand up one more time so that we can travel to a Casino together someday in the future. Amen.

Omg! Your story just filled my eyes w/tears! Yet very inspirational as well. Im glad that the last time you saw her,was full of excitement for the 2 of you! God bless!
