| Hi all and Welcome! I built this site preparing for Bariatric Surgery in hopes that as much as it helps me it might help someone else along the way. I have been pursuing my surgery for about 3 months now and I have found there is a lot to absorb. With that in mind I hope that this website will be helpful on your journey. But first let me tell you a little bit about me� I am happily married for 25 years, to not only my soul mate, but also my very best friend. We have three children, and 5 grandchildren. Now to the sad part I am 45 years old and have been over weight most of my adult life. I have reach an all time high of 260 pounds with a BMI of 45. I started this journey for several reasons. The first and most important is my future� I WANT TO HAVE ONE! My hubby and I are at the age that we�re starting to think about retirement and I want to make sure we do that together. At the alarming rate I�m falling apart health wise I decided to have this surgery to ensure that we sit on the beach, old and wrinkled and tanned, and enjoy our twilight years. Some of the things I noticed are, Energy�. what�s that, I have none. What use to be simple tasks now take an act of congress, we won�t even go into tying my shoes. My liver enzymes go up and down like a merry-go-round. I�m giving a whole new meaning to sweet dreamless, with sleep apnea you don�t dream, darn it I want those back, some of them were fun�lol. My self image not to mention my self respect is so low, sometimes I feel like no one should love me, why should they, I can�t. And one of the oddest things is there is a stranger looking back at me when I look in the mirror. Oh well anyway, I keep telling myself this will all be a thing of the past, and the future is looking brighter. Please enjoy this website and I hope it helps. I will be updating this as I go along so please check back often. |
