Getting ready....
Jan 20, 2009
Okay, so my surgery is this coming Monday (Jan. 26th) and I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I'll be having surgery at Portsmouth Naval Hospital with Dr. Michael Barker. I am 32 years old, mom of two boys (ages 13 and 4) and a Navy wife. I am so excited for my life to be healthy again. Once upon a time, I weighed 98 lbs. Then I had my first son. I developed PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) after I had him. It took us a miscarriage, 6 years and fertility drugs to get our second son. My weight has ever continued to spiral up and up. I am tired all the time. I have type 2 diabetes. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. Last but not least, I have GERD. I'm ready to put all those things behind me and be a healthy and active mom. I don't want my son to be embarassed by his fat mom anymore. I also don't want anymore little kids coming up to me and asking why I'm so fat. I started this process at 251 lbs. This morning I weighed in at 242. Yay!
