Carolyn D.
I am going to be 46 years old in September. I have waged a battle with my weight since fourth grade. Up and down, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, and on and on it goes. Through 3 pregnancies, and three beautiful children, from my Hometown in New York, to where I now live in North Carolina, it has followed me like a shadow that I just can't get rid of. I'm DONE! I have had enough, and I'm taking back my life!
I have Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Demyelinating Disease in my Brain Stem(like MS, but not yet as severe-waiting for the ball to drop), Chronic Pain, etc. I have spent the last 9 years wrapped up in medical bills, doctor's appointments, and pain that wont go away. And through it all, my husband has been right there with me-in spite of it all, and my children have had to put up with it,too. I'm DONE! I'm taking back my life.
I have read of all the recent studies regarding the WLS and the inflamitory process, and how it contributes to turn that syndrome around. I'm hoping the research is correct, and as a HUGE wonderful side effect, I can lose the weight I have carried for so long.
My surgery is in four days. I'm nervous and excited-both. I'm hopeful and tentative at the same time, that I might really be able to feel better and get off of the mouthful of drugs I take for various ailments. I want to feel like I'm 45, and not 75.
I'm DONE! But I'm ready for a whole new chapter, and hopefully a whole new me!!
