I have always had some weight issues, but never any health problems. In September of 2007 I quit smoking and by September of 2008 I couldn't take the weight gain any longer so I went back to smoking. In three years I gained over 60 lbs and now have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, etc. I have never before felt so unhealthy and miserable. I have no energy and even had to quit my job. But good news. I was supposed to have my gastric bypass back in February but due to being military, we had to move so I put my surgery on hold. A date is now set with a new doctor which is September 20, 2010.
My life is about to change and I am excited but also very nervous. I know that the goal is to truly be able to "LIVE" again so whatever I have to endure, it will be worth it. One bad thing is that I have to go on a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery and will be on liquids at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. I think I will be sick and weak. Hopefully that time will just fly by.
Anyways, my time is coming soon and living is what I want to do again but this time better.
