WELL, I WANT TO START BY TELLING YOU A LITTLE ABOUT ME FIRST . . . I WAS BORN AT SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 10LBS 6 OZ. THE HEAVIEST BABY OF A FAMILY OF 5. I WAS A BIG BABY. I GREW OUT OF IT WHEN I WAS ABOUT 2YRS TO ABOUT 5YRS OLD. IT WAS THE ONLY TIME I WAS "HEALTHY."
ANYWAYS I STARTED GAINING WEIGHT. AT 3RD GRADE I WEIGHED 131LBS AND NEEDED A BRA. I WEIGHED MORE THAN MY SIXTH GRADE FRIEND. BY THE TIME I WAS IN 6TH GRADE I WAS WEARING A SIZE 24.
I WAS A VERY HAPPY CHILD. HAD MANY FRIENDS. VERY SOCIABLE. AND ALWAYS GOT THE FAMOUS BIG GIRL COMPLIMENT " OH, YOU HAVE A VERY PRETTY FACE. I WOULD SAY I WAS BLESSED TO BE AROUND GOOD PEOPLE THROUGHOUT MY LIFE BECAUSE BEING AS BIG AS I WAS I NEVER WAS TEASED ABOUT MY WEIGHT. SO I REALLY WASN'T A DEPRESSED PERSON STUCK AT HOME BECAUSE I WAS ASHAMED OF MYSELF. ALTHOUGH MY MOM WOULD SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I LOVED TO GO OUT DANCING AT WEDDINGS, QUINCEÑERAS, HOUSE PARTIES, CLUBS WHATEVER. I HAD ONE ADVANTAGE TO BEING OBESE. MY MOM WOULD LET ME STAY OUT LATE BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ME WITH GUYS. (YEAH RIGHT) WHAT SHE DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT HER)
OKAY, SO THATS ME A CAREFREE, HAPPY PERSON STUCK IN THIS HEAVY BODY. SO NOW, I'M 25 AT 350 LBS. BARELY FIT IN A SIZE 32 AND READY TO GET SOME HELP AND I FEEL THAT WITH WLS, EXCERISE AND EATING RIGHT. . . I WILL BE ABLE TO REACH MY GOAL.

WELL, I TOOK THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS MY WLS AND WENT TO MY PCP FOR A REFERRAL ON THURSDAY 6-30-06. MY DOCTOR WAS VERY HAPPY ABOUT MY DECISION. HE HAS BEEN WANTING ME TO GET THIS DONE FOR ABOUT 4 OR 5 YEARS NOW. I BROKE DOWN AND STARTED CRYING. HE ASKED WHY THE TEARS AND I TOLD HIM BECAUSE I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF I WAS NEVER GOING TO GET THIS BIG. ON 06-19-06 I STEPPED ON THE SCALE AND SAW FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME 350 LBS. THAT UPSET ME SO MUCH. I TOLD HIM THAT WHEN I LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR I AM DISGUSTED WITH WHAT I SEE. I'VE NEVER DONE THAT. WELL, I'VE GOT TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A STRESS ECHO, SLEEP TEST AND MY WEIGHT LOSS SEMINAR AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER IS ON JULY 13TH AT 5:30PM:)

WELL, I WEIGHED MYSELF TODAY. . . IT WA S A DEPRESSING MOMENT FOR WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SCALE IT SAID 350 :-|
SO TODAY AT MY BREAK AT WORK I MADE SURE TO GET SOMTHING ACCOMPLISHED SO I MADE MY APPOINTMENT FOR THE STRESS ECHO ITS ON WEDNESDAY JULY 5, 2006 AT 3PM. I PRAY THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. I'M SCARED CAUSE I DO EXPERIENCE SOME HEART PALPATATIONS AND AT ONE POINT THEY HAD SENT ME HOME WITH A HEART MONITOR. I DIDN'T GET A CALL BACK FROM THE DR'S OFFICE SO I JUST ASSUMED EVERYTHING WAS OK.
NOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS SCHEDULE MY SLEEP APNEA TESTING THINGA-MA-BOB THEN I GO TO MY SEMINAR. I'M HOPING TO TALK TO MY SURGEON AND SEE IF HE CAN GIVE ME A DISCOUNT ON THE PROCEDURE SINCE I WORK FOR HIS ANSWERING SERVICE. THAT WAY I DONT HAVE TO PAY MUCH ON THE 80/20 INSURANCE THING.

WELL YESTERDAY I HAD MY STRESS ECHO DONE FOR WLS AND MY DR SAID IT CAME OUT NORMAL. I WAS HAPPY CAUSE LIKE I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE MY HEART PALPATIONS WORRY ME. ALSO, YESTERDAY I DID MANAGE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SLEEP STUDY. ITS ON JULY 17 AT 3PM. RECENTLY MY BLOOD PRESSURE HAS BEEN HIGH. I'VE GOT TO TRY TO STAY UNDER 350 CAUSE THEN I DON'T FEEL IT AS MUCH. ITS LIKE WHEN I'M 350 OR OVER MY BODY IS SAYING "HEY YOU, YOU'RE KILLING ME OVER HERE" IT SUCKS. BUT I'VE GOT TO STAY FOCUSED AND TRY NOT TO PROCRASTINATE IN ANY WAY. OH, AND THE GREAT NEWS. . . I'M FINALLY GOING TO GET MY INCOME TAX REFUND FROM 2005!!!. GEESH, YOU'D THINK THAT BY ME TURNING IN MY RETURN JAN. 31, 2006 I'D GET IT SOON. WELL ITS JULY. . .IT ONLY TOOK THEM ALMOST 6 MONTHS. . . SOCIAL SECURITY SCREWED UP MY NAME. THEY HAVE ME AS KARINA BORREGO-PADILLA, BORREGO BEING MY "CONTROL" LAST NAME RATHER THAN KARINA BORREGO PADILLA AND PADILLA BEING MY "CONTROL LAST NAME. UGH!!!!
