So, here I am, setting up a page ~~~ I began to gain weight after the birth of my first child, 17 years ago and continue to climb the scale ever since! I have tried every diet I know of, yet have experienced no long term success. I am 100 lbs. overweight; a terrible burden on my 5’ 1” frame. I have been researching and contemplating Gastric Bypass for some time now and I’m very happy to say….I called and made my appt. to speak with Dr. Stickler on Feb. 4th @ 8:00 AM. I spoke with a wonderful lady when making my appt…I think I must have asked 500 questions!! LOL I'm so excited...Wish me luck!! 1. Be healthy and be around to see my children grow old
2. Play with my kids without getting out of breath
3. Be able to sleep through the night
4. Be able to paint my toe nails without needing oxygen.
5. Be able to stop using humor to cover my pain.
6. To stop everyone from telling me “you have such a pretty face.” Which I know it means “If only you weren’t so BIG!”
7. Stop hearing my son say when he sees a weight loss commercial, ‘Mom you need that.”
8. To see my collar bone, cheek bones and Knees
9. To feel as beautiful as my husband thinks I am.
10. To be pain free!!
11. Cross my legs!!!!
Some reasons I'm looking into the surgry........some are silly but some are very real!!
