Hi, I am 36 years old, very happily married, and mother of 3. I have been overweight for most of my life, especially after childbirth! Tried everything there is on this earth to lose weight, obviously not succesful. I don't really have any life threatening health concerns at this time, that I know of, but have family history of obesity, CHF, stroke, and cancer. I don't have HBP, Colesteol, diabetes. But I do have reflux really bad and my joints and back hurt so bad at times I can't hardly move. I have chosen the RNY. I've never had surgery before or been put to sleep, rather nervous about the procedure. I have chosen my surgeon, Dr. Dexter Turnquest in Houston. He is such a nice person, very soft spoken, informative, his staff is great too! I am in the process of getting approval from my insurance co. We have Aetna. Have heard they are hard to crack, so trying not to get my hopes up to soon. I have already done my psych eval and nutrition appt.. I have researched this procedure in depth and am very excited about getting healthy and losing the extra person I've been carrying around, lol as my Doc described. I know once I lose this weight, I'll be able to do the things I so long for, like being able to walk without getting so winded, or tying my shoes without tuning beat red and sweating to death before I can get back up! Energy, I can't wait, concidering that I have none, lol wonder what it's like to have some. I'll be able to keep up with my kids. Please pray for me, and my family as we journey through this life changing experience! I'll update as soon as I have more info.
My top 10 list of things I want to do AFTER surgery:
1. Shop at a regular store and buy regular clothes!
2. Cross my legs
3. Breath without such effort
4. Ride amusment rides with my kids
5. Weight less than my husband
6. Take a nice vaction and enjoy it
7. Renew my wedding vows
8. Start dancing again ( l love line dancing CW dancing)
9. Walk tall, get some self respect and self esteem
10. Not be so hot all the time.
