I guess this is it!
Nov 25, 2014
So, here I am sitting at work closing the clinic yet again. I have been thinking of starting a blog for a while and idk I just didn’t. Let me catch you up on my story...I have been overweight since I took my first breath. I have PCOS and after the birth of my son I bounced right back to my pre-baby weight. My son was 9lbs 9oz of pure miracle. God granted us with a gift, we didn’t do anything out of the ordinary and next thing you know it I was pregnant. My doctors until this day are surprised. Well, there I was 3months after having my son and my weight slowly crept back to my pregnant weight. I had gained about 25lbs in 3 months :( and then is when the problems really started. I was 240lbs and the weight was not going anywhere. I got serious about my PCOS and started to see endocrinology and nutritionist after about a year of struggling on my own. Still nothing. I would lose 10-15lbs and right back it would come. Now my son is 3yrs old and after years of thinking about the idea and having many friends undergo WLS I decided to pursue the idea. I wanted to be healthy for my son and husband. I had a PCP that was just not trying to hear it and neither was my endocrinologist. I dumped them both and went to a new PCP (I was thinking of switching clinics anyways because mine was going to hell with new staff/management). My new PCP totally agreed I was a good candidate for WLS and gave a referral on August 20th, 2014. September 19th I had my first visit and things just flew by. By November 19th I got call that my insurance approved everything and they moved up my tentative date of December 17th, 2014 to December 10th. Today is November 25th and it is slowly trying to hit me. Everyone at work knows I am going to have surgery and will be gone for 3weeks but with the exception of one of my friends no one knows for what. Part of me is ashamed for having WLS even though I know I should not be and the other part of me just likes my privacy and I don’t want people in my business. My family, husband and friends are a HUGE support and if they are behind me, that is all I need. My anesthesia appointment is December 1st at 7am. I'll blog then. Welcome to my journey!
