Hello!
Jul 01, 2014
Hello, I've decided I want to be a sleever. Finally after maybe ten years of fighting weight gain and diets and the thought of WLS, I cry UNCLE! I have several friends who have had WLS but I never thought it would be me too. The reasons I NEED the surgery are many. Mostly because of my knee pain. I have had two surgeries on my knees and no have the 'bone on bone' that you hear about. I can hardly walk, stairs are embarrassing and I am always sort of breath. I can't sleep at night because my arms fall asleep about every hour, then I have to roll over, which in it's self is an ordeal.
I am also Bipolar. This is hard for me to say publicly but I am and have been for over twenty years. I am VERY ANXIOUS about this surgeries effect on me being bipolar. If you are bipolar please friend me. I'd love to hear about your WLS journey.
I am married and the mother of two. My daughter is 24 and newly divorced (my pic is at her wedding) and my son died in 2012 of cancer, he was 24. I was very active in my faith but have fallen away since the death of my son. I don't work. I swim three days a week. My mother passed away last December after a long illness. Now, I do a lot with my dad and sister. I am one of six children. I was skinny as a child until after the birth of my children. I actually lost my pregnancy weight but was diagnosed bipolar and put on weight related to my medication.
I can't think of anything else now other than I see my surgeon in two days for my first visit.
Hope YOU have a GREAT DAY! & Take Care!!
