SURGERY IS THIS WEEK BUT I'M A LITTLE SCARED!

May 16, 2016

Surgery nearing fast!

                     well my pre surgery testing is in 2 days and my surgery is in 4 days,Im excited yet a little scared. Honestly my surgeon is totaly awesome and very confident but with the luck ive had in life im still a little scared about the risks (I am almost 400lbs) But ive lived with this extra weight too long now and if I dont get it done my knees will never feel better,I will never have my knee surgery and I will be unhealthy and 400 pounds if not more if I continue. No knee surgery or weightloss would mean another couple years MISERABLE my kids already have had a somewhat crappy life unable to do much as a family because im too embarrassed to go anywhere or because I wont fit into the seats or booths :-( And thats the best case scenerio other case IM DEAD and kids have no mom! 

I thought I had this conquered already once when I lost 100+ pounds like 5 years ago but was unfortunetly hit by a drunk driver twice,yes I said that TWICE,like I stated above my luck is not the best..lol and well after that I ended up with some messed up discs in my neck and back and was unable to walk anuymore or do much of anything without unbearable pain,so I gave up like a moron! and then well my knees got so arthritic they began to deteariorate and now are bone on bone (both).and am really pretty immobile and was told by my pcp and ortho drs that I needed weightloss surgery or I wouldnt be able to lose enough very quick because they didnt want me to walk and try NO stairs and I needed my knees done so my pain would go away,Also so I could walk again. Who knows once I lose weight my knees will get better and hopdefully wont need surgery ,Well thats kinda unlikely But im sure they will at least get better and I will be able to move more until I can get them fixed too. SO with all that said this is why I need this weightloss surgery! please wish me luck everyone.
