Just starting

Feb 12, 2009

So, I am new here. I just got info on weight loss surgery from my Endocrinologist that I have been working with since August 2008. My final straw was going to a local theme park with my family about 2 or 3 weeks ago and not being able to go on a ride with my 6yr old son. That and I had a group of kids blantly tell me to my face how ashamed I should be of what I look like. I will admit that it did hurt to hear them say that, I am not actually considering that as a total factor in my case. 

Anyhow, I have been struggling with my weight since around 2007. I use to have to take all kinds of medication which caused me to balloon up. That and poor choices were the main contributors. I want to be able to walk in a store and not have to tug at my clothes to make them look right or worry about them having my size. A thing that bothers me a lot if I cannot enjoy doing things that I use to be able to do. I cannot go play in the snow as there are no snow pants to keep me dry. I have looked high and low to find some that would fit me and have been unsuccessful. 

On the 24th I will be going for my Psych evaluation, not sure what to expect on that but I am hoping to gain more knowledge of this whole procedure and the impacts it may have not only on me but everyone around me.

Due to my weight I have had irregular mensus cycles, which have caused me to have a thicker lining on my uterus, causing me a great deal of pain and infertility. I am currently taking hormone therapy to hopefully resolve this. But I never knew how much my weight contributed to ailments such as that until I met my weight loss doctor.

Anyhow I want to be better informed of the weight loss surgeries out there and how I can change my life to be healthier and achieve the results I want in my life.
