Trista Wilson
The Introduction
Jan 13, 2010
Hello, after watching "MassageGoddess'" YouTube videos on weight loss surgery, I decided to try this out and keep track of different things on the road to the WLS as well as after the surgery.
Allow me to introduce myself...My name is Trista I am 25 years old and am engaged to be married on May 22, 2010 to a wonderful man. We have one child, a 4 year old little boy.
Alot of thought has been going into this choice to have weight loss surgery, My fiance and I have discussed future children, my health, the problems which can occur due to my obesity, and so much more. We have both decided weight loss surgery would be a significant help to me.
I have an appointment scheduled with my PCP on January 25th, which is actually my fiance's birthday, so I hope the Dr will agree that with a current BMI of 50.9 I would make a good candidate for the weight loss surgery.
I have looked into all the different types of weight loss surgeries and have come to the conclusion that the Gastric Bypass would be right for me, however with that being said I do intend to talk to my doctor and get their opinion as well.
I am a little nervous, I have been heavy my entire life...well ok that is a lie but since I was 4 years old....I have tried diet after diet after diet after diet and have never been able to loose more then 20 lbs.
I want to be a healthier me, not only for myself but for my son and my future kids, I want to be a better me, the me I know I have deep inside hiding behind all this fat.
I am afraid that the Dr will tell me that the surgery is not right for me, which in my opinion how does a person who has only known you 10 minutes have the ability to judge what is or is not right for you? I am just hoping beyond hope and praying he will agree and help me move forward in this journey!
As of today Wednesday, January 13, 2010 @ 12:06pm est I currently am 5'7" and weigh in at 323.4 lbs. I hope to be able to keep track of everything that occurs in my life from this point on, atleast my weight loss life.
Thanks for taking the time to read my little story here, it means alot.
