My story with weight really began about 12 years ago, when I was 31. I suffered a massive heart attack that left both ventricles and the septum very damaged. I got a blood clot in my LAD and it totally occluded the artery. I was no longer able to work and was asked to resign from my 1 job and let go at the other. I had 3 young sons and was divorced. Anyway since then my health has went down hill and my weight has went uphill. My highest weight was 329lbs. My poor heart already was damaged and has had to work so much harder with the extra weight. I became diabetic a few years back, I have thyroid problems now, have sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, arthritis, I am in kidney failure and also in congestive heart failure. I was set up to have this surgery about 3 or 4 years ago and at the last minute they said no way the heart can't take it. I am scheduled to have surgery the 17th of August. I am excited and terrified all at the same time. Oh yeah I am a new grandma my grandson was born the 4th of July,
Caleb Carl. I think I really need to do the surgery in one way, yet I have to think of my family the surgery is high risk for me. I AM SO TORN, i pray all the time. I just have to allow God to direct me in the right decision for my family.
