I started getting sick in 2002. I became a diabetic type 2 and was diagnosed with severe fibromyalgia around the same time. I had lost my mother in 1993 and I grieved for all of the ys following. I know that is what made me sick.
I had to leave the job I loved and go on disability in 2003. I got it for the depression, but I finally knew one day that I couldnt work even one more day. That was the hardest decision I ever made. My wonderful husband was diagnosed with diabetis around the same time. His is genetic. He has never been overweight in his life. That broke my heart too. So suddenly, I was home alone when not at a drs appt. It took 5 yrs to get used to not being able to much of anything.
I had the gastric by-pass on Nov. 23, 2009. It was the only way to save my life. Dr. Willy Melvin at Vanderbilt did my surgery and he was wonderful. He saved my life. If you have any questions or concerns, Please contact me. Ive lost over 80 LBS so far
