Years Later....the saga continues.

Dec 23, 2011

I last wrote in August 2007, when my son Adam was 5 months old. He is almost 5 years onld now and I have had another child, Lena who will be 2 in February. Childbearing is behind me now so I am serious this time about getting to the surgery, better health and better fashion. lol.

I have had my surgical consult with Dr. Anne Lidor at Johns Hopkins Bayview. She seems serious and competent. I have begun my six moths of physician supervised weight loss with my PCP, Dr. Yasmeen Ahmed. Dr. Ahmed was not initially supportive however for improving my obesity related health issues - hypertension, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol - she is going along with my desire to have bariatric surgery.

My weight has increased since 2007, hovering around 293 pounds give or take. I hit a non-pregnant high of 301 one day a few months ago. My weight seems to fluctuate quite a bit on a daily basis. When I was preganant with my daughter I went as high as 299 but never over the 300 mark,

Please wish me luck, pray for me, etc. This time it needs to happen.
