As the story goes, I've been overweight to some degree the majority of my life (actually, from 10y.o to now, 40)). I am now the biggest I have ever been and I am absolutely miserable. The only thing that gets me through miserable moments (especially after a wonderfully large meal) is the fact that my RNY is scheduled for June 18th, 2007. I have researched all of my options for almost a year and I am very comfortable and confident with my decision to proceed. Unlike some of the unfortunate ones who had to wrangle with their insurance company, I never had a problem. Everything went so smoothly for me that I truly feel that there has been Divine intervention throughout the whole process. I know that the Lord will see me through this so I try to keep that in mind when I get nervous thinking about it. I have come to terms with the limitations that will follow the surgery.....the whole liquid to pureed to whatever type of food I am directed to eat. The thought of experiencing "dumping" is actually comforting because sweets and carbs are my weakness and are what got me to where I am today!! I am positive that I never want to experience THAT!! So, that's the story of my weight problem. I also must add that I am very happily married with two children and two step-children. Our family is one of the more fortunate blended families after divorce. I thank God every day for bringing my husband, George, into my life. I wish everybody the best at whatever point they are in with their weight loss saga. I will let everybody know how I am faring after my surgery on the 18th.
