Support Group in Fort Worth/Dallas area
Hello to all:
I am 35 years old and I live in Fort Worth Texas. I had the bypass
surgery July 1 2002. I was at 275 pre-op (note that I was 300 1 year
prior and I had lost 25 lbs. going to Jenny Craig…but I was not
improving health wise), and now I am at 191. I have gone from a size
30/32 and now wear a 12/14. The mere opportunity to have this surgery
was a gift from the Lord. My life is a story of weight loss battles
and food addiction. My weight problems began at birth as I weighed in
at 11 lbs. 1 oz. (my poor mom). I know that the Lord has blessed me
with an opportunity to have a new life. Additionally He does not
bless someone just for them alone, it is always meant for blessing
someone else. I want to start up a support group for weight loss
surgery patients, and people who would like to consider having the
surgery. I had my surgery in Rowlett, TX which is 2 hrs. away, so I
cannot feasibly attend a group so far away. But I thought, why not
start up your own here locally. If anyone in the area is interested,
email me (jogabest@…). If anyone has suggestions on where else
I may try, send a message. My life has changed dramatically as a
result of this gift, I am sure yours has or can change too.
Thanks,
Yvonne Estes
