Potata
I am 56 years old. I am considering Gastric Bypass surgery. I was approved for a Vertical Sleeve but my liver speciaist thought a Rouex-Y would be better for me. I have PBC (Primary Bilary Cirrhosis) and was treated for AIH (Autoimmune Hepatitis). Recently, my doctor thinks maybe I don't have the AIH disease and has taken me off a medication that previously prohibitited me from this surgery.
I have struggled since my teens with my weight. A yo yo dieter. I can lose 100 pounds - only to gain it back. I have never weighed what I weigh now. I am praying this will work for me. I so desperately want it to work.
Sugar is my weakness. I can eat sugar all day long - I never get a sugar rush, stomach upset - nothing. I read about the Rouenx -Y and it said sugar eating will make you ill - sign me up!!
I am married and just became a Nana 13 days ago. My husband is zero supportive about the weight. It disgusts him as I meet and married him when I was 125 (now I am 214 and at 5 feet tall...). I told him upfront I had a weight problem, but I don't think he really thought I did.
I have a great job - a good life - I feel like I am killing myself with so many health issues against me - the one thing I should have control over - I don't.
I so need a friend that understands where I am coming from.
