TGEORGERN
My name is Tiffany and I live in North Carolina. I am happily married to my one and only best friend . Together we have 3 wonderful children (13 yr boy, 5 yr girl, and 4yr boy). I grew up and was always normal size throughout all my school years. At times I would even believe I was too fat (in size 5 jeans....crazy). I got married and my weight started going up after I began taking Depo-provera birth control shots. I gained 50 lbs. Now 3 children later and all 3 pregnancies were gestational diabetes, I have become what is dx as morbidly obese. I know I am overweight, but somehow I do not see myself with that type of obesity. Clothes shopping is another story, that is when I see myself full mirror down to the bare and every fault seems to stand out. My health has now progressed to diabetes after my 3rd child, high bp, muscle pain most certainly dx as fibromyalgia. I stay home during the week with my son who is not yet in school. I work weekend nights as a RN at the local hospital. More and more I find myself watching as if from the outside seeing life around me slipping on by while I have become so withdrawn that when I am in a situation of adult conversation, I feel uneasy because of how I feel. I looked into WLS as a possibility to rid me of the many meds I take on a daily basis and to give me the tools I need to change my outer and most importantly my inner self. I want to play and run with my kids. I want to work my 12hr nights and not feel as if I am going to either pass out before the night is over or suffer with significant leg cramping stiffness and swelling for at least 2 days after. I truly want to be me. I want to find the me that I was always proud of and that was a people person. I want to live my life to its fullest.
