my new lifestyle
Apr 19, 2012
I've recently had my lifesaving surgery on April 9Th,at St Francis Hospital in Tulsa Oklahoma.The reason behind my gastric bypass is because I'm on Kidney Dialysis ,And to get on the transplant list I need to lose 150lbs. (just to get evaluated to be on the list also),I've been Dialysis for 7 and 1/2 years and the main reason wasn't debates but High -blood pressure. I've tried all the diets and the walking and gyms , but the most I could lose was 50 lbs. and the last winter of 2010 here in Tulsa with all the snow and not being able to go any where just stay indoors and gain back what I lost.The whole process took me almost two years ,until the past surgery this month.But as in any thing you have your nay Sayers.Thank God for giving me a strong leap of faith , because if it was not for my Faith I don't think I would have done it.Besides the Dialysis ,I have a fantastic wife and a 10 year old son that I want to be here for his High School graduation and at lease one or two of his kids.I want to be the cool grand dad,and if I don't get on this transplant list I could possible see him graduate high school (maybe)and that would be all.My wife and son need me ,more that my extra 175lbs that I have or had on me (I've lost since the 2 weeks of liquid diet and 1 week post surgery ,35lbs ) This surgery (no mater)which one you get is truly a life saver , if your thinking about it please get it and be here for your kids and family and Friends.
