Well i have been over weight for most of my life. I had two boys by c-section ,one in 1988 and another 11months later. I struggled to lose and a did lose alot by mid 90s. Had a tummy tuck done and felt great. But then i went back to bad eating habits and gained lots of weight 240 lbs worth. So i went for a VBG in 1999. I lost lots of weight 100lbs.in the first year. Alot of vomiting and pain, back then no support you just get your surgery and try a figure things out. Then i had sooo much vomiting and pain , i had a hernia. It was popping right through my abdomen. I was able to eat large portions of food again, so i assume the staples let go. I had surgery in 2007 to repair hernia, open and 32 staples down my stomach.I the mesh in place.Two years ago i had a breast reduction done because of back pain. I was a 42-K... I didnt have any idea i was that big. I was squeezing into DD,s... I am a 44-C now. And have gained and gained , i am up to 267 lbs. I have never been this big. High blood pressure and asthma, and all the other fun things that come along with being morbidly obese. I was referred by my doctor Jan 15/13 , received a call stating it was sent to Humber on Jan 24/13.. I called Humber this last week Feb 17/13 to make sure they did receive it and she said yes and that there are 2 dates for orentation coming up 18th and 24 . She told me to think about them and she will call me back. I am hoping to have a revision done and in turn have the RNY. My journy is just starting and i hope its going to be a good one. I am 44 years old and want to live healthy and happy for the rest of my life. I am a grandma now and it is more important than ever. For some reason this time trying to lose weight on my own i just cant. I am soo far gone i just cant get back.Good luck to everyone who is taking this step to a better and for me PERMANENT healthy life. SURGERY WAS JUNE 27/13...Everything went great and i am 3 weeks post op now and i have had NO issues with anything so far...
