i was skinny all my life, i had a surgery for a hernia repair where they blew up my stomach like a balloon, my stomach never went back flat again. i was very active, i walked 45 mins a day at work, i took my kids hiking,biking swimming. i played sports. i was doing weight watchers and going to curves every night after work to try to get my stomach back down when i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, i had to loose all my money from curves ( i had just started) i got very depressed i was having (and still have) back spasms that were so painful i wanted to drop to my knees, i couldn't cook or clean my house. i couldn't be active like i loved to be. i didn't notice the weight coming on until one day i didn't recognize myself. i signed up for the bariatric surgery at Albany med. i had everything done to get the surgery i only had a little more pounds to loose but then my body stopped loosing pounds and started loosing inches, they wouldn't count the inches, something about my liver. i couldn't afford to keep going and paying for something my body wouldn't do so i dropped out. i wanted it soo bad, i have diabetes and was hoping it would help with that. so i once again became depressed and gained all the weight back and i think even more. now my diabetes is worse it went from 6.1-6.4 to 6.8 and they have me on oral meds, i have never had a prob with my cholesterol and now its like 300 and my liver enzymes are high. so now i am working on my depression and watching what i eat and trying to loose weight. right after i dropped out of the program i found out they would accept inches!!! i just couldn't afford to go through everything again. how nice :(
