I'm 38, happily married (most days anyways) and I have 3 great kids, I use that term loosely since they're 19, 16 & 15. I have been overweight my whole life and really unhappy about it. I love food, really really love food. I'm not an emotional eater, I actually tend to not eat when I'm emotional. I do however eat when I'm bored. I started researching RNY last year at the suggestion of my family Dr. and he sent my referral in April 2011. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Cancer in July 2011 so my journey was put on hold while I dealt with my health. A year later and an all clear from the oncologists, my family Dr. resubmitted my referral and I restarted the process. I have completed all my appts except the meet the surgeon appt so I am waiting (not very patiently) for a call to book that appt. I am looking forward to being able to do more things with my family, the cancer has made me realize how much of my life has been wasted by weight ( can't fit, can't stand, can't walk, too tired etc.) My husband took me to Mexico this year in January and we went zip lining, it was a blast but I was exhausted climbing the towers and had to let my husband do the second half by himself as I was too physically tired. I want to have fun with my family again, I love to travel, go to amusement parks (haven't fit in rides for several years) go for walks......
I'm looking forward to getting my life back.
