As long as I can remember it seems I have always had an issue with my weight. I feel like I have been on a diet or trying to lose weight on my own forever. As a matter of fact when my dad had RNY in 2010 it made me even more determined to lose it on my own. This determination did not come from stubbornness; it came from fear. I think that happens to you when you are a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit. So while I was miserable in my own skin and hated myself for not being able to have more self control to lose the weight on my own, I was terrified to have weight loss surgery because of the environment I worked in and the outcomes I was surrounded by. I have now been a nurse for 11 years and a NP for 2 years.
My husband and I will soon celebrate our 11 year anniversary in September. He is a great support for me through this entire process. We have 3 children ages 19, 15, and 8 years old. They are my whole world. I want to be around for them as long as I possibly can.
