sabrina S.
My name is Sabrina,
I am a mom of 8 kids, Yes all mine. I am looking into weight loss cause after the 6th child my
Weight was a losing battle, I was pre diabetic had my child at 28 weeks and complications,
I survived the stress and brought home a healthy baby. The 7th and 8th were no pinic either.
The Dr. said well you now after 30 more problems tend to come up. I thought 30 is bad I felt like
I had a foot in the grave already shish. Anyway I never seemed to be really 100% after I have been pre-diabetic high-blood pressure, high cholersteral, severe head aches, depression You know
it all seemed to be spiraling out of control. So I started looking into wls primarly the lap band. I did
The BMI thing to see if I qualified and at 230lbs 5'5" I did 38.6 Wow I thought I have to do some-
thing. Well the Lapband seemed the way to go. I liked it was safe or safer than other surgeries
Recovery quick ! But more I read did reasearch and heard complaints I know both sides have t
them. I felt I would check Rny and I feel its for me. Yes I know there is complications.
But to tell you the truth I live in a small town and driving 45 min to an hour didnt seem appealing. for fills
and If I was over filled I would have to go get unfilled. The biggest complaint I had was I love sweets
more than bread and chips . Just give me sweets.
So I did do all my testing for the band but deep in side I questioned it for me. So I asked the clinic if
they do Rny and she said No we don't One lady over heard and said I think this for you I told her
My problems with sweets and she said well I have it and I will eat a brownie it's dense and fills me up
Well actually I cant even eat a whole one. It sounded like a good thing for me so I said ok heck if I can still eat sweets why not.
So after pondering on it I said No this is not what I want to be cheating. What more can I cheat with ...
Anything cause if I dont want a brownie I will eat cake, shakes, candy, pies whatever I feel like.
And I dont want that. So the day Aug 21st to be exact I am approved. for lapband And I changed my mind. My daughter said mom you dont want to go the Rny way it's dangerous !
Well 08/23 I take her to a seminar to a Dr. who does both prodedures. She listened and heard from people who had both surgeries and said..."Mom I would probably go the Rny route too. Since of your diabetes and all that. " So here I am going Rny way.
