Sundays are precious to me.
It's my one day of the week that no one has any expectations of me, I have our home to myself and I can just kick back and collect myself. Since I'm new here I thought I would take a moment tell a little about myself.
This blog is going to be weight loss surgery related so I will start there. I've been overweight since I was about 8 years old. It all started with an endocrine disorder that got out of hand before I was properly diagnosed. fast forward about 9 years and I'm on all kinds of different thyroid medications. They stopped the rapid weight GAIN but it was incredibly difficult to lose weight when you have problems like these.
So in 2008 I was desperate to lose weight so I had Lap-Band surgery! Everything was OK at first but I quickly realized that there was a problem. It's a long story and I will go into it in some detail another day. The band had either slipped or it wasn't in the right place to begin with for quite some time. I lived like that for years until I finally could not take it anymore in April 2011.
Now here I am a few months later interested in an RNY gastric bypass. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow to discuss the surgery and maybe even set a date!
