[ today is the day ]
Sep 22, 2009
Today is the day that I start to do better with my life. I have realized with help from people, that I cannot go through life being obese and expect for everything to be okay in the end. I've actually never been in the greatest of shape. But in the sixth grade after my dad past away, my life had down hill and my weight had went up. He passed away at age 37 from corinary artery disease, which is hereditary. I'm 20 years old, I do not want to die at a young age as well. I suffer from asthma and depression. Recently, I have been in and out of the ER and doctors office. They are not quite sure what is wrong with me, but I am having severe abdominal pains, nausea, and fatigue. I've had cat scans, xrays, blood work, a pap smear, stool samples, but they still can't find out what is going on. Maybe my depression has changed course to something worse? Who knows. All I know is that I need to change my way on life NOW. I do have a appointment with a GI doctor on Friday, Sept 25th. If he is unable to figure out what is wrong, I want to look into lap-band surgery. Because maybe it is just depression pains. I got a call from my mother this morning, she spoke with our insurance company. They will cover the surgery, but she didn't give me the full details. Wish me luck.
