new journey

Jul 21, 2011

I have been very heavy my whole life its just the way it is I guess. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on June 14,2011 so this is a new leaf in my life. I don't have aspirations of grandeur. I am 55 years old (d.w.f.) I have been single now for 20 years. my weight at time of surgery was 302lbs. I am currently at 263lbs. out 5 weeks. I have my mom to take care of she lives with me. She is 75 year old widow. When she got very sick almost two years ago things changed for me and my outlook. Mom had open heart surgery with a five way bypass I saw her struggle and realized the amount of physical dexterity it takes to go through that sort of thing. I struggled, worried, sweat ed and strained to take care of her. With me carrying an extra person around on my own back,legs,arms and muscles I realized I had to do something to change it, she isn't getting younger. Well when I started talking about the surgery I found out she was as scarred as could be that something  would happen to me and she wouldn't be able to care for me. So I started  looking and searching the web for this surgery. It took me a year to qualify for my insurance to cover it. I found Dr. Dexter Turnquest and the ball started rolling. Now I have had my surgery, I found this web site, so the journey begins........
