"The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched but are felt in the heart"
I am one of the lucky ones to have been married to my best friend for 43 years. We have grown up together having married at age 18. DH has has been all thing to me over the years, lover , husband, father, brother, best friend and I would not have wanted to take this walk through life with anyone else. This is not to say our life together has been a cake -walk, we have have made this marriage work becasue we wanted it to. We both have given each other the freedom to grow. I think long marriages work because a person is able to put their pride in their pocket and learn a very special word called "Forgiveness."
I can be a very strong person, look up the word "hard head" in the dictionary and you will see my face looking back at you. DH if you ever come to read this, "thank you for loving me" even when I could not love myself, you are a very special man. You have loved me fat and thin and now because of your suport you are giving me the freedom to try what I feel is my one last hope to live my life as a normal person by having WLS . I know you worry about me being 62 years old and going for this brass ring. I will give this surgery thing my best shot . Only God above knows if he has other plans for me, only he knows my future. My trust is in him , I am at peace with his will . Life is to be lived and enjoyed and in the end when my name is called I intend to slide into home plate and scream" my life has been one hell of a ride".
I am the mother of 2 children and the granny of 2 wonderful grandchildren who are the light of my life. I have been blessed with my sister who is my best friend, I love you all beyond belief. I have worked for the last 23 years as a Buyer for a Hospital here in Maryland and I just love my job want to wait till I'm 65 before I retire.
I have been thinking about WLS for about 3 years now and my sweet family doctor has been pushing me toward it also. She is such a sweetheart and has been with me all the way in my ups and downs gaining and losing weight for the last 11 years I have been with her. Some doctors make us frightened and ashamed as we return time and time again after losing and regaining the pounds over and over again, but not her, all she has ever given is support and love and most of all respect as a human.
I am on my way now had first apointment in June and I found out that the insurance company requires a 6 month diet so I am now in the 3rd month , this is so crazy "Like us fat chicks don't know how to diet" we just don't know how to keep it off. I speek from experience having lost over 100# 3 different times in my life . I must warn you all now that I can't spell my way out of a paper bag and this thing doesn't seem to have my friend SPELL Check you will just have to over look the spelling sometimes. Just look at it as a game and you are trying to figure what I am trying to say ha-ha.
August in Baltimore has been alfull but I am hanging in just like everybody else and have completed some of the medical testing. I ahe completed the Psycholgist exam, Sleep Study, blood test, and eco of my heart and stress test. Only things left to do are the blood gas test, which I am told is the worst one to take also UGI testing. I am thinking now I may have done some of these test too soon since probably won't see a surgery date till Merry Christmas time. Having this surgery will be the best Christmas present I can give myself.
I have told very few people that I am having this surgery, and if you know about it count yourself one of my trusted best friends. My daughter slipped and told one of her friends that I was having WLS and he asked her why I wanted to have this type of surgery at my age 61, that it didn't matter that I was fat, I will still be a "OLD LADY". I don't want this surgery to look 21 again I just want to feel 21 again ha-ha, enjoy what is left of my life. I know a new person will bust forth from this process of WLS , a person far different from the one that I have anesthetized for so many years with food. I know it will take work on my part to get to know this new person., For me it will like a re-birth, and I celebrate her coming.
