Had my doctors appointment today for some follow-up tests and he says to me " your results are disgustingly healthy, you are disgustingly healthy"  To  which i replied: "NOT AT MY WEIGHT!"

so we had a 'chat' and .........


HE IS SENDING IN MY REFERRAL!!!!!!!!!!! 

apparently all i had to do, was bring hubby, since he discussed it with him and agreed...

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now what do i do?? lmao

now what do you do???   WAIT and wait and wait....   Start making small changes. Try and cut the soda and caffeine. Stop smoking ( if you do).  Stop using a straw.  RESEARCH!!!!!! everything and anything to do with RNY.

So you must have a BMI of over 40....since you are disgustingly healthy, you must have no co-morbidities.  The only other thing is that you have already tried to lose weight multiple times.  Those are the things that will qualify you under OHIP for bariatric surgery.

Yes.. i have a BMI of over 50.. and cronic joint pain, back pain, mirgraines and mild sleep apnea..(all things that dont matter according to my family doctor) 

and yes, i've struggled with my weight for years, with it increasing each time i got pregnant.. now that i'm done with our kids (last one was 5 yrs ago) and i still have had no success by myself, i figured it was time to take action and find a tool that could aid me in my success! 

so... here i am!! Ready to be able to function as a mother should and be someone my kids can enjoy  plus i want to live!!

Take me or leave me.. but this is ME!
