What This Will All Be About

This blog is going to be about my weight loss surgery (wls) journey. I went to Dr. Gorospe on January 7th. His staff is so friendly. Dr. Gorospe took the time to explain every aspect of the surgery to me. The appointment took a little over 4 1/2 hours, but it was worth it. As I was waiting in the waiting room with all of the other new patients, I was feeling very skinny. I mean I was probably one of the smallest ones, all of that changed when they called me back to get my height and weight. I am practically a midget at 5'1". I was lucky and didn't have high blood pressure or anything like that. But I weighed a disgusting 324 lbs. That is grotesque. I couldn't believe I weighed that much! But I do and I have to live with that. I will be posting some pictures of me very soon, so everyone can see what a fat ass I am.

The reason I am opting for the gastric bypass surgery is because I have scoliosis, and the added weight is making my lower back hurt so bad almost every day. And I have noticed that just walking from my car and into my work is making me breathe harder like I have been jogging or something. I am getting winded very easily. At 23 there is no excuse for this. I also want to have a child within the next couple of years. My husband Michael is 32 and longs for children as do I. My doctor told me that at this weight I should not carry a child, it would be entirely too risky. That was a real eye opener for me, so I am doing what I know has to be done.

I realize that the wls is not going to be an over night success, and it is only a tool. I will have to change my eating habbits for life, but I am determined to do it. I want to be able to have a healthy baby and be able to run around with my toddler and have fun. I also want to be live a long healthy life and I cannot do that being this overweight. I am considered morbidly obese, that is such a nasty word, but I am. So in this blog I will document everything I go through in the process of getting this surgery done.
