About Me

Nov 03, 2009

Ok....so I guess it is time for me to let you all know who I am. :)

Im a recently turned 39 year old married mom of 4 boys.  I am 17 1/2 years sober by the grace of God.  I work as a case manager for medicaid patients in long term care.  I also sell Mary Kay on the side.

I have been over weight my entire life.  Pics of me when I was little show me being a little chubby kid so ths has been a lifelong struggle for me.  I have tried every diet out there from Richard Simmons, Atkins, South Beach, calorie counting, pills, starvation, laxitives, you name it...I've tried it.  I was diagonsed diabetic in 1995, but didn't really start to take care of myself in that area until 2001.  I had just about gotten to the point of just giving up on my desire to lose weight until last February when my NP suggested I look into WLS.  I went to the semiar with my DH and as soon as the surgeon talked about how WLS can reverse diabetes, DH and I looked at eachother and said "That is what I need".  I have completed my 6 month bariatrician program and have a surgery date set for December 21, 2009.  Just waiting for insurance approval as of this writing.  So there ya have it....me in a nutshell. :)
