I am like most people on this site and have been fighting my weight since i was a kid but not obese I only went as high as 175 but usually stayed at 165 in my teens. I didn't realy start to gain masive weight untill i got the noraplant birth control I went from 140lb a size 7 at age 23 to 200-210 a size 16-18 by age 24-25 i did have it removed.
Then when i was around 32 that summer i gained 30lb. Now i am 34 have a baby that will be turning 1 year old on july 5 2005 her name is Jade Madison i gained 40lbs with that pregnancy lost 20lbs and have gained back 12lbs now i am 262lbs. I am going for test but i do have high colesterol and pain in feet, knees and back I feel like im walking threw water when i walk I feel older than i am. I also have a 14 year old daughter briell lea she is overweight to but not like me but its my fault because she eats what i eat or buy. I am considering this surgery for a number of reasons one i can't help my daughter untill i help my self and dont want my other daughter to pick up our bad habits as she comes from an overweight family on her fathers side plus me. My family are all thin. Thats another reason im considering the surgery im tired of beeing the fat one. i realy want to just feel better and be an energetic mom. Im tired of feeling unhealthy. On a positive note i have been with the same guy for 11 years today the 24 of june, he has never said one negitive thing about my wt always said it didnt matter what my wt was that he already fell in love with me which was always sweet. we love each other like that but believe theres always room for improvement. thats a great matto
Well I have an apointment on july 8th to see the surgeon and the pulmonoligest on the 20th of july well thats enough for
07/10/05 saw dr greenbaum on the 8th everything went great he is very informative and very nice.just making and going to appointments now be back soon!
09/8/05 sorry its been a while well i am done all my appointments and every thing is beeing sent in for approval so just waiting the secretary told me that i will be having surgery in october most likely because they are droping my insurance on nov. 1st 05 which sucks for other people with medicaid it sucks for me to what if they have to fix something in nov or after and its an emergency
hopfully i have other insurance if something happens later if i get married quickly which i dont want to do. i want a wedding after 11years of beeing together ha ha. my dr said i realy dont have to lose wt before but i am trying to. lost 2 lbs or so i hope i can stay motivated . i have been getting very scared since i have a baby girl almost 14 months and a 14 yr old daughter i of course dont want to leave behind i feel selfish but i am trying to take care of me hopefully they learn this concept you should always take care of yourself first so you are strong enough to take care of others i want to be a fun mom not a boring one life sucks well got to go jade is mom n me to death lol well soon as i hear something on approval i right back bye for now
9/27/05 im approved i can't believe it oct 20th is my date im in shock still i have known over a week now i think . im trying to stay calm i pray that after wls im lucky and am no longer lactose intolerant or suffer from ibs that would be awesome crossing my fingers. i hope i make it through all this with my feet still on this earth .i pray jesus dosent have plans to invite me over to his house yet lol ill be glad to go i just am not ready yet! theres so much i havent done yet like fly on an airplane which im terrified of but might try if i make it through this surgery i would love to travel one day take family vacations which i didnt do growing up and would like my kids to experiance. i want them to have as much fun as possible cause tomorrow isnt promised ya know. i've ilways been afraid to do alot of things because i have anxiety attacks i dont drink or do drugs so if i ever get on an airplain i wont be getting f**ked up to get through it and if it was going to crash i would want to be fully aware so i could use my cell phone god forbid lol well anyway im now takeing adipex to lose some more wt before surgery to shrink that liver but my surgeon is not one of those asshole drs that refuse wls if you dont lose or gain a couple of lbs i can under stand if u are at high risk to die to lose wt before wls though but some surgeons that people have on this site are a little crazy thinking if someone gains some or doesnt lose isnt serious about wls apparently lossing wt is a problem for us duh! well i will write back soon bonnie
