A while back I posted that I was thinking about weight loss surgery. I've done my homework and have the filled out paperwork in front of me to send in to the surgeon in Atlanta.

I joined a gym and I love the water aerobics, but I have arthritis so bad in my back that I am in constant pain when I try the machines.

I'm hoping the Dr will accept me as a patient because I believe that if I can lose enough weight I'll be able to use the machines at the gym. I'm very afraid that if I don't get the weight off I won't live much longer. (I feel this way because my husband was overweight and died at 49 from a heart attack)

Please pray that I'm accepted and that the finances will fall into place for me to have the surgery.
