I have been huge my whole life. Always the fat kid in class and in the back row at my Ballet recitals. I managed to loose a lot of weight in the summer before my senior year of High School. I also managed to put it all back plus about 100 more. I have had 3 kids in the last 5 years. I have done my part to populate the universe, so now it is time for me.
I started looking in to this a couple of years ago, but was not done w/ the baby making yet. I always thought I wanted the Lap band and then found out my insurance would not cover it. I looked into RNY and I am now sure this is what I NEED to do.
At 5"6 I weigh 276 lbs. and my BMI is 44. I have massive muscle and joint pain and that awful post baby urine leakage. The Doc. is pretty sure I have Apnea and my GERD is out of control. Other than that I am as healthy as an OX. (I look like one too)
My husband is VERY supportive, he has been great. Deep down, he is nervous as hell, but in the end it will all be worth it.
I look forward to the journey and the support this site has to offer. Keep in touch with me as I am sure I will need a freind along the way.
Take care, and God Bless!
Jen
