Kaoz on a thrill ride

Nov 26, 2011

 Don't you just hate opening statements? You can never seem to find just the right thing to say. Do I want to be witty, sweet, funny, offensive. Should I come across as strong and decisive? Should I declare my political or moral allengencies? Perhaps I aught to make a veiled comment about my soul's status so everyone knows which religious club I'm in? Maybe I make a comment about how distraught I am with my life and how I hope things will get better after WLS. Should I be really offensive and see how many people will fill the need to chide me into behaving the way their social mores dictate I should?

Nah. None of those are really me. 

I am a professional female. I'm in my 30's. No SO. No munchkins. And no plans for acquiring either! You can call me a feminist if you alike because I believe that every woman should have the strength to stand on their own. Or you can call me a romantic because I know that no one should ever go through life alone. I'm contrary that way. 

I originally looked into WLS back in 2007. I went through my nutrition and excessive classes. I was even diagnosed with HBP. Which thrilled the surgeon at the time due to PCOS not being considered a comorbidity. I was a little less ecstatic. Anyway, at the time I felt the Lap band procedure was way to drastic of a step to take and decided to see how the diet and excessive information I had gained would be of a benefit. 

Turns out, it was a really good decision. First, because that doctor closed shop and left about 1 month aftere I would have had my surgery. Also, I was able to loose about 30 pounds and keep it off with my new knowledge..  Unfortunately the little things that creep up on one when they are considered morbidly obese began to rear their ugly little heads over the last year or so. I reached a point in my declining health where I finally acknowledged that I needed help.  I'm still maintaining my weight, but it's not going down.  
I think it was the gloss of feeling in my legs for an hour when I hit 4 miles on the treadmill that scared me into admitting I needed help.  

So here I am! Getting ready for a RNY.  Ive had some issues getting this far. And I feel like its been a lot harder to deal with my doctors office than it aught to have been, but an end is in sight! Persevere!  
See ya on the other side.
