 Thumbs Up   Six days until I go and see Dr. Garth for my very first time.  Of course Orrientation does not count in my book.  I am so very excited and nervous at the same time.  I just know that everything is going to happen the way God wants it to happen.  I am so greatful to have him in my life.  

Hugs,

New to the game
on March 13, 2008 1:16 pm
well let me begin by saying that I am new to the site.  I am a mother of two adult sons and have been married for 20 years now.  19 of those years I have been what they now call super morbidly obese.  Wow, what a way to think of yourself.  
I have also had 3 hernia operations in the past 6 years and this past October my PCP  tells me she wants me to have a gastric bypass done before the now 4 hernia is repaired.  
I have also had a hard time of getting around the past three years.  I have had chronic back pain and my feet hurt all the time from trying to do any type of activity.  Needless to say I have become a home body  beacuse I donn't want to get out in public for fear of stares and needing to constantly take breaks when we (my family and I ) go to do things together.  Even family functions have been a nightmare for me these last few years.  I feel that I am an out going person but hate the feeling that I am being condemded for being over weight.  

I am hoping to have wls as soon as I can.  I do have an appointment with Dr. Garth Davis on 3/27/08 and I am praying that all goes well.  
I was ahead of the game, because before I even went to orientation I had already found the things I needed form my insurance co.  UHC.  Now it is just up to the Dr.  

I have been coming to the site for the last month and reading the fourms and really feel that this is a great site for people like me and all the over weight people out there in the world.  I also finally built up the courage to join.  See the thing for me is that I have always been a loner type person because I had a rough up bring and find it hard to trust others not judge me.  It is hard because even my own parent did just that when I was in high school.  

I am not trying to get my self to look like a super model just feel better about my self and be able to go on the long walk that I have been craving for years.  

So now here I am I have joined the league of men and women who are teying to get the surgery and who have had it done.  All I can do now is leave it in Gods hands and pray that all goes as I pray they will...

My Story


Ok so all I can start with is that I am like everyone else on here and have been morbidly obese since well forever.  In high school I was overweight.  I was a size sixteen, I thought that I looked good, but I guess that others thought it was not right to be big. 

So then I graduated and got married.  I've been married for 20 yrs this May 28th.  And I have two very handsome young men for sons.  Jack and Joshua.  Jack is my Hippie and Josh is my Marine.  Gotta love the differance.  There is no end to the political wars that goes on in this house hold.  LOL  But we all love each other.  That is what family is right?  

Well that is what I make of my family.  Growing up it did not happen that way.  My mother came from a very abusive family where her father molested everyone of his children.  Needless to say my mother was not the best of moms because she did not know how to be one.  There was a time when she even left my sister with that monster.  My sister was taken to live with someone else for a while but I was left for a time.  Needless to say you can probally guess what had happen.  But GF is dead and I cann't confront him with this.  My mother will never admit to any wrong doing in leaving my sister and me so what is the piont right...  
Because of a rough time growing up I have learned not so show any type of emotion or affection for anyone or anything.  It can cause you pain in the long run.  
This has been so hard for me because of my boys, I love them to death and would die for them but it is so hard for me to show them how much I really do care and love them.  This has also made to were I hate to be touched unless I give the permission for ya to touch me.  And then you will not get the chance fof it to be a very long time.  I will start to feel trapped and it bothers me to no end.  

So now that I think about all of this I guess this is part of the reason that I am a fat woman.  A rotten childhood and not loosing after the kids and eating because I had a stressedout life.  So now I want to get a new tool to help me loose and get healthy.  To get a new me and a new lease on life.  
I guess that what I need to do is get a PHYSCO to help me with the problems form childhood and keep asking God to help me not esent my mother for putting me in the sittuation that she left me in.  

So that is all for now.       ME
