First on foremost I want this surgery for myself; I want to feel good physically and emotionally. I am the wife of 17 years and a mother of three children. I don’t want my children to be embarrassed to be seen with me, sometimes kid’s actions say more then words.
I am a full time worker and a part time student, working on getting a teaching/psychology degree. I have a stressful job that has played havoc with my body; I sit down all day and have to eat fast. I am a 911/Police/Fire/EMS dispatcher for a small department. I have to wear many hats, secretary, therapist, baby sitter and everything in between basically we do everything. I love my job and have been doing it for over 10 years and my body is showing it. I am also a part time student trying to get a double major.
My daughter Autumn is 15 and in 10th grade. She plays the trumpet and is in the high school marching band on the color guard team, she is pretty active in school and keeps us pretty busy. James is 13 and will be 14 in Nov. He is in 8th grade. He plays the trombone in the school band and is too smart sometimes. Ryan is 11 and will be 12 at the end of Oct. He is in the 6th grade. He just started playing the trumpet and is in the city football league. The kids keep me pretty busy with school activities. I have been married for 17 years to a wonderful man, Greg, who just drives me crazy sometimes.
I have been thinking about this weight loss surgery of over 2 years. My mom helped me to decide to get it done; she brought the subject up and was very encouraging and supportive. I have always struggled with me weight and it has gone up and down through my school years. As long as I stayed active in sports it was not as much an issue. When I got out of school I slowly lost the battle with my weight. It really started to go down hill after my third baby, the weight just never came off and just went higher and higher.
My husband thinks that all I need to do is diet and exercise, what does he think that I have been doing for the past 11 years. I am so beyond that and if he thinks that is so easy then why does he not do it. He is 6”3 and about 400 pounds. By my estimation going from my size and he wears 5xl-6xl. I started my journey to a new healthier me on 050406 and had my surgery 072506.
