Well, I'm a 27 year old Mom to three amazing kiddos! Ages 5,4, and 6 months. I started this process two years ago but was denied b/c of the psychiatrist who did the pre-surgical psych eval. He said i was not mentally stable, which looking back at it I wasn't. Besides Being a mom, I'm a wife to an amazing man who I've been with for ten years and he's there through thick and thin, however we've only been married for three years... we'll be celebrating our third wedding anniverssary on 8-8-11!
I've been obese for most of my adult life. I've been overweight for most of my life. At this point I think I'm what is considered super morbidly obese. I stand 5'31/2" tall and weigh 310 lbs. I've fought to get the weight off, but nothing helps, diets dont help, working out hasn't helped. I dont let it slow me down tho. I'm very active.
My reason for wanting this surgery is because I DONT want to spend another 5 years trying to loose the weight, wasting my childrens childhood at this. I want to loose the weight and be ever so thankful and never have to go shopping in the plus size section again. I want to be able to ride the rides with my kids at the amusement park next summer, as this summer i dont fit on any of them. I want to be comfortable in my own skin. I'm tired of joking about how it's ok to be fluffy! I'm not ok with it. I hate being the fat girl, and i hate every stigma that comes with it! I just want to be normal. Now I know your probably saying she's not mentioning anything about her health in this.. .... and there is a good reason for that. As of the moment besides my mental health condition of bi-polar/gad/ocd, i have no co-morbidities that go along with obesity. I'm just a healthy fat person. they have run ever test to see if i have something else wrong with me and i have nothing. but they aren't worried about the insurance approval b/c my bmi is so high and its considered to be prevenative b/c if something is NOT done I will develope those problems. And there is a good chance that with the surgery i may have to take less medications for my mental health condition...... well thats me... and as u can see i ramble alot. I like to talk. I'm very friendly and I'm looking to meet new people along this path to help me along my journey and hopefully i can help along their jourmey.
