So first of all my story is a classic obesity tale. I have been over weight since I could remember. In fact I was 300 pounds by the time I graduated from high school. Schools in general were a hell cause you could imagine I was teased to no end. So I hated school. And well time went on and so did the scale. Oh this is until the metric scale could no longer talk to me bacause i had exceeded 350. You the number that scale stops at. So as the years pasted I told myself I was 350ish or so. But when I had got Kiaser and weighed in on their digital scale I saw a shocking #. I was 487pounnds. I couldnt believe it. I was so ashamed I wanted to hide. And then when i got to see the doctor all she wanted to talk about was wls. I went in for something totally diffrent but my weight 487 sounded a little louder on list. She told me I needed to do something drastic to lose weight. I told her I would need to think about it. Because honestly I never considered wls, I thought it was an extreme procedure. I remember the last thing the doc said "nothing will be normal until you do something drastic to lose the weight." Her words loomed in my head all month
Then I called and asked for help via wls. From that point everything went so fast. I went to one appt locally then the rest of my appts were in Fremont Ca. The next I know Im sitting in my hospital bed to drug to open my eyes. I had a 100% recovery. Im back at work exercising and trying to care for my new body and new mind that will evolve as a result. If I had to do all over would I do it again. Well thats a question i can better answer 6mos from now. But as of right now I would I really would and I would not change a darn thing. WLS will give me the chance I desire the chance I deserve and the life That I knew was hiding inside.
This is was a hard decision and Im willing to take the punches for something I did not have in the beginning of it all. A chance to win!
