Where has the time gone???

Dec 11, 2010

Well here is my last intro (See below) I cannot believe how long it has been since I was here. I failed but am here to try again. I plan on keeping the same intro just updating it.

Gosh I am at a lose for words...that never happens :) I guess I should start by letting you all know who I am? 
My name is Karilyn but my friends call me Kari.
I am a SAHM to three young children ages 1, 2 and 5. I am 29 years old
I am married to a wonderful man going on 7 years now!
I struggle with my weight and have for over 13+ years.
I have tried all the fad diets out there with no success.
I want to have surgery as it is the only way I will be able to shed the pounds.
I currently weigh in at 313+lbs and am 5ft 4in. tall
I am looking for advice on the Kaiser procedure. I have heard they don't like to okay the bariatric surgery very often. I do meet the BMI requirement, though only recently has my blood pressure started to be elevated. I have been diagnosed as pre diabetic with an A1C of 6.6. I do have asthma and have had knee and back problems for some time. I had an ACL replacement in the past. My labs look okay but I do have hi triglycerides (high bad cholesterol and low good cholesterol) as well as low potassium (It was only 3.3 and apparently 3.5 is normal so not too low) maybe that is why I have heart palpitations? But other then all that I seem to be in okay health. :)
