I have actually consulted this website for 3 years now, but I'm just now becoming a member. I am 34 years old and have been overweight for alot of years now. I have actually battled weight issues my entire life.
I have attended the first seminar with Dr. Schmitt and now have my first appointment with him on November 9th, 2006. I also went to see a pulmonary doctor last week to schedule a sleep study. I should hear back from the hospital soon for my appointment date on that. After the first initial appointment, the doctor said he can't tell me for sure, until the sleep study, but he feels quite sure I have sleep apnea.
I am currently taking Lexapro for depression and I've also been on Synthroid for the past year. I have faced severe fatique for the past 2 years. This is to the point of letting the housework slip. This is all so embarrassing to admit, but I feel I must start somewhere.
I have started experiencing headaches and have become somewhat of a hermit. I am too ashamed for people to see me, so I stay inside the house as much as possible.
I have 3 children, ages 3, 7 and 15. I feel my weight issues have caused me not to be the mother I want to be for them. I'm too tired much of the time. Shortness of breath is causing me to be unable to be as active with them as I once was. I just want to be healthy again. Not only for myself, but for my family as well.
