Its beyond time for me to do something about my weight issue that has plagued me for too long. Each year I seem to add more and more. I know why. Those problems will still be present after this surgery, but, I have a healthier way of dealing with the reasons I choose to emotionally eat. Emotional eating is what got me to 230 lbs. Not a pretty sight. Hope is a good thing. Im filled with it now and have my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy scheduled for October 14, 2010. Thats just a few days away!
Forty-two is far too young to be on blood pressure medication. Another determining factor in choosing WLS, was two years ago I had gestational diabetes while pregnant with my youngest daughter. We all know that gestational diabetes is just a precursor to Type II. A healthy weight will likely keep the diabetes out of my future.
I deserve this. My children deserve this. I have three kiddos. My son is 23, my oldest daughter is 18 and my baby girl is 2. I need to be around for them, and God willing, I will be here for a long while.
