My name is Kelli. I live in Anchorage Alaska. I hope to have my wls in February. I've finished most of my tests. I had chest x-rays, upper GI, abdominal ultrasound, EKG, blood tests to check for H. pylori, and a pulminary function test and an arterial blood gas. I had to go to a pulminologist and he wants me to do a sleep study. I have that on December 7th. I can't wait to finish that. I'm not looking forward to it, but will do anything that my doctor wants, because I know that he is looking out for my best interest. I love my doctor. He is such a warm caring person. I can tell that he is genuinely concerned for his patients. That makes me feel good. I got married November 14th of last year and I have a wonderful loving husband. He supports me fully. He says he will love me no matter what size I am. He just wants me to be able to feel good about myself. I want to be able to go to a restaurant and be able to sit in a booth without having my boobs sitting on the table. It's so uncomfortable. I let so much life pass me by because of my size and this is where it stops. I want to live. I have been overweight all my life. There are so many things I want to do, but won't because I feel like a big cow. I walk with my head down, because I don't want to see peoples reactions to me when they look at me. I am a Pharmacy Technician so this means I am on my feet for up to 10 hours per day. My feet, legs, and lower back can't handle this much longer. As it is I have to take pain pills to survive. I would have to quit my job if not and I really don't want to do that, because I make darn good money. I want to get off all my meds. I'm sick of swallowing pills. I have been trying to get this surgery for so long and now everything is coming together. I just pray to God that the insurance does not turn me down. They shouldn't but there is always that chance. So now I'm just taking one day at a time so that I can make it to my surgery. I'm so excited.
