My First Entry-How did I get here?

Aug 03, 2012

Well....this is a start. And guess what? We're OFF TO THE RACES! 

After having visited this and many other websites, I see there is A LOT to think about. My reason for seriously entertaining the thought of bariatric surgery is simple: I WANT TO LIVE. 

So, right now I have HBP, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes (sugar levels running 7.2 and up), mild sleep apnea, arthritis in BOTH of my knees, chronic hip pain, and a benign tumor that has affected my hearing in one ear. Out of SEVEN illnesses/diseases/ailments....only ONE has nothing to d with the fact that I am 315 lbs.

Years and years and years of taking care of everybody else except ME.  Working  a lot. My career in general. Horrible eating habits. Genetics.  All of these things have played a part in getting me where I am today.

Now its time to lay the plans for where I'm going from here.
