about

My name is Fawn and I have been married for 2 1/2 years. I am a Christian, and like to think that I am a good listener. I hope to go back to college this year and eventually earn a my masters degree in psychology. It has been a dream of mine for many years now to be in an occupation that I can help people and receive the peace that will come with knowing that I am doing something important with my life. My husband and I lived in Virginia for a year and a half and we are looking forward to getting back there after I finish my education. I love dogs, music, books, travel and photography. Most of my time is spent with my church family, my immediate family and my wonderful husband.



Be nice and I will be nice. Be rude and I will be rude. Ask my opinion and that is what you will get. I am open minded and honest and I give and expect respect.



I am check my inbox daily so send me a question and I promise (excluding personal illness or family emergency) that I will respond quickly. Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!


advice

I'm contemplating having the bariatric surgery done. I'm 140lbs over my "ideal" weight... and the diabetes and other probs are too much to deal with for the next 10 years. I've been this same size plus or minus 20 lbs for longer than that...and I have hated being heavy... now we have insurance that will cover it!! I think I need to do it... Just wanted to see where you stand on the issue... and see if you're supportive of the idea.

I have heard mixed things about this surgery. Some people have had it and it has changed their life for the better (John Popper) and others have had it and it has made their life worse. This surgery is not a promise that you will be thin for the rest of your life, you can and many people have gained a lot of weight after the surgery from simply not trying. That being said, you know your body and your medical history more than anyone on here can so if you and your doctor really think that this is the best for you as a way of improving and extending your life I am all for it. However, I think that before you have this surgery you need to really talk to your doctor and find out what you will be going through. Ask him about the benefits and the risks. Do a lot of research on your own. Try out the links that I have posted below, read the testimonials and the facts. Prepare yourself so that you will not be surpised later. Pray and ask your family for their opinions and help. Best Wishes!
