I am the same story you read everywhere... fat from birth! And it only gets worse.... we all know what we went through and i was no different. Nothing special to tell except that being an only child with few friends made it even harder to deal with. I am sure there are some of you out there too!
But alas, here i go.... i have high blood pressure, am diabetic, have back problems, arthritis in my ankles and migraines. I had hit rock bottom last year with everything in my life. I was at the end of my rope as they say. I was off on mental disability for 3 months from work due to not being able to handle everything anymore. and my weight just sat on top of it all.
But i had been tracking some of my friends WLS and saw that they had done really well with minimal complications so i thought before i die, i will try that... what could go wrong? I could die on the table.... but i was ready to go anyway so i guess i could go trying one last time to succeed at something.
all the other issues were not going away and after sitting alone for months with no one who could understand, i set my plan in motion. My boyfriend was no help in anything and we split. I turned what little energy i had into trying to do something for me instead of others all the time. Sheer torture!
But, i made it thru 6 months of OSU medical centers diet program and lost 40 lbs. I had stressed off 20 before that and since the program i have lost a total from my highest weight ever to now of 70+ lbs. But i need more.... i am still in the obese range and my health is only moderately improved.
God is wonderful... he alone has got me this far and i know he will continue.
I will let you know how the story continues.....
