My journey so far with my weight has been rough. I finally broke down a few years back and started researching weight loss surgery. I was so afraid to take my research further since I was married at the time, and I was afraid to take this step since honestly I was comfortable with the routine in my life. It wasn't until April 2009 that I finally got sick and tired of being overweight. I hated not being able to go to an amusement park and fit in the rides. I hated how I looked in clothes. I think what I hated the most was getting so exhausted and tired when I had to go grocery shopping or run errands. I would get winded just walking to the car.
My rude awakening was when my PCP told me back in April 2009 that I had hypertension. I was in denial....I refuses to believe it. I went to see my psychiatrist for medication adjustment and I mentioned the hypertension to him. He took my blood pressure and it was way high....he said he was gonna give me a choice, take the medication I was prescribed or he would have kaiser admit me cause my blood pressure was borderline for me to have a stroke or heart attack. I knew then, I had to admit that my lifestyle and my relationship with food had to change. That is when my journey towards Gastric Bypass Surgery began.
