I am 39 years old single mom with four children. My oldest son Tim is 19 yrs, Sarah is 16 yrs, Tameica is 13 yrs and a new addition Baby Anthoni is 7 months. I love my family and looking forward to this new journey in my life.
I have been heavy most of my adult life, especially after having my first son. Most of my pregnancies put alot of weight on me and my last pregnancy put me over the edge in weight and my sleep apnea came out full force. I never thought that I would ever have weight loss surgery. I always just tried to do it on my own for many years. Like many other people I have talked too, I have tried just about every diet out there, even putting my health at risk at times just to loose a few pounds. Each and everytime I lost weight I'd put it all back on plus some.
In January 2007, I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I have struggled tremendously with the CPAP machine. Many reasons I won't go into now, but it has been a huge issue in my life. In August of 2008 my primary Dr. made the suggested that I have Gastric Bypass. I was interested but not sure. But the more I prayed about it the more it sounded good, really good and a healthy choice for me.
I don't have a lot of support, besides my children and I love them all for that. I know that they hold me up in prayer everyday. I need those prayers.
So, here I am going on this journey to change the rest of my life! I am so excited but yet apprehensive at the same time. It's hard to go into something and not know what's really will happen or what to expect. But, I know with every fiber of my being that it is going to be worth it and my sleep apnea and other related health issues will be gone and the weight will fall off!! Thank you Jesus!! Amen!
