Tia Lee C.
Hey everyone! My name is Tia! I have ALWAYS been overweight. It didn't seem like that big of a deal to me til I was about 13 and been on and off anti-depressants since. I have borderline hypertension. On my mother's side of the family, her brothers are obese and moribly obese. One had a heart attack at the age of 30 and had a pace maker put in. And my mother on many occasions has cried while talking to me saying that I am to young to have a heart attack and she doesn't want to out live me. I started the Baraitric program at Womack on Fort Bragg on October 18, 2008. I was getting everything done and thought score I can get it done in like Jan/Feb. Yeah.. until I got this awesome letter stating that I have to go to nutrition classes for 6 months. Ahhhhhh I was ANGRY!! But I have my ending appts in late May early June so I am praying that June/July I will have surgery. I can't wait to be able to do alot of things. I want to be able to not be on anti-depressants EVER AGAIN, be able to walk into a store and not sweating if this was made a little to small and won't fit my fat ass. I want to be able to walk up a flight of stairs without wanting TO DIE cause I am out of breathe so badly. It would be nice to not feel embarassed to wear a bathing suit. I will add other things I can't wait to do at a later time. I just want to thank everyone for their GREAT advice and the blogs and post because you guys put out alot of GREAT information and has helped me dearly! Thank you :)
Well Scratch the whole Colorado thing! We are in Ft Campbell now.. we shall see what happens or if I can get back in the program!
