After being a member and reading about so many people over the past few years, I'm finally taking the time to input all of my info. I hope to find this site as a method of support as I continue this journey.
I'm 45 yrs young as of July 29 2007. I'm married to a wonderful man. He retired from his job in Feb. and retired from the military (reserves) 2 weeks ago. So we are both stay at home parents now to our 5 adopted children. These 6 people are the strength and motivation to my steps toward WLS. I want so badly to be a more active part of the childrens lives and be a role model in the area of fitness to them. "WHICH I AM NOT" yet.
I didn't really have a weight problem until I was 29. I slowly crept from 140.....to 180. I stayed there for 2 years and then boom...up over 200 and kept climbing. I was diagnosed with PCOS around that time which I think started most of this. 3 years later Hypothyroid. Then diabetes. And high blood pressure. Then high Cholesterol. Then Sleep Apnea......and I currently sleep in a recliner with a CPAP. Yes I am miserable. I so badly want to get to bed...lol. I have had back surgery back in the 90's and since gaining this weight it's made it too unbearable to lay down. I know this surgery will make all or at least most of these things go away.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it. God Bless all of you!!
