Hey to anyone reading this!
my name is Emma, Im 21 years old from Ottawa Ontario Canada. Currently I weigh in at 380 lbs. Thats pretty damn scary considering Im only 21. Ive seen specialists and my family doctor who all agree that WLS is in my future. Im going for the RNY. Ive had tests done and Im not going to say its glandular or anything like that, my reason for obesity is unique... or at least I havent heard anything like it. I went to the specialist in Ottawa, Dr. Robert Dent, and he did an extensive question thing, and family history and tests. Obesity and problems run in the family, all of my family is overweight, but not to my extent. Apparently it can happen that bad genetics can be stored away and then after a generation or so, all of those genetics can be traced into a kid, YAY me... not.
Right now Im healthy other than being morbidly obese. I do not have any comorbidities, but the potential is there, and very high. Ive been married for almost two years now to a wonderful man. I hear people saying things like :now I can run around with my grandchildren" and I think its wonderful, but I like to at least have children first, and be able to play with them instead of monitor them from a couch.
I want this surgery not becasue I think Im ugly (though I do lol, but Im married so it dosent matter) I want this surgery so I can have a better life. So I dont have to worry about getting obesity related diseases. I want this surgery so I dont have to go to an early grave and leave my husband behind. I want to be able to have children and play with them and run around with them. I want to take the dog for a walk and be able to run instead without looking like a jello mould in the car on a bumpy road.
I want to have a life. I hear people saying that htey have their life back, Ive always been big. I want a life period.
