My Story begins, January 2013
Feb 05, 2013
Here I am, 53 years old, weighing 333 pounds at the beginning of January. I can't walk far, my knee hurts ALL the time, I get so stiff and achy, partly because of fibromyalgia, and partly because I am so inactive. I take care of my 88 year old dad who lives with me, my husband and teenage daughter.
I am exhausted all the time and just sick of all of it! So, the first week of January, I callled St Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, got set up for my information session and scheduled my psych eval.
Information session 1/21/13 Psych eval 1/25/13
Received approval from my insurance company 1/30/13
Pre-op testing 2/5/13 Passed and released for surgery!
Now, I am just waiting for a date for nutritional counseling and a surgery date.
I am nervous, excited and scared all at one time.
I want to thank OH for providing a place where I can share my story, encourage others and be encouraged by the courage of others.
