hi..my name is Yvette.. i am 42 yrs old and have been waiting yrs to have bariatric surgery..As im not getting younger and have lost several yrs of prime life due to childhood trauma and the adult trauma i am finally fighting back because i know the weight ive gained has limited me physically...mentally and emotionally. I took a fall last Oct and injured my hip...must've torn muscle as i am finally walking normal..min pain now and then depends on how i twist....how long i sit etc. Anyhow could not go skiing...have not been able to golf..aka breast size..and anyhow this surgery should help with all the above... and hopefully regain an active life...play baseball...volleyball...skate..ski..hike.. golf!! lol gosh been yrs. So sadly i have been on a wait list for 5 yrs..actually asked Dr 15 yrs ago...he thought at one point the wait list in Canada would magically disappear...nope its probably worse now. The Dr. i was seeing in Canada apparently can determine weather he feels I'm worthy now ir later to have surgery...its a joke..had i have had surgery even 3 yrs ago it is possible my spouse and I (18 yrs) could possibly have children now...i do have a 24 yr old but seriously his "control" of my ..and other lives is disgusting.. we were not able to afford this surgery but tg we've moved from BC to AB where my spouse is doing quite well in his career. Well we really cant afford it...im in major debt...but my health has to take priority and perhaps after i lose weight i should have a problem getting a job right?? lol guess we will see. in 9 days im heading to Tijuana Bariatic Center and surgery the next day. Am travelling alone and a bit nervous about that...but the rewards shall be worth ...my life. Im hoping to lose alot of weight and possibly for our 20th togetherness I will be fit enough to try on a bridal gown for the very first time... and run off to Italy or Greece to get married.

Not sure when I wrote the above....sometime pre surgery almost 3 years ago! I did not hit my "scale goal" of 125/130 but am very happy. I have been maintaining 143-145 lbs for the past year and a half. I am hoping to get some plastics done; a tummy tuck, breast augmentation/breast lift, a brazillian butt lift and possibly arms done. What an exciting journey it has been! Life is grande! Still no wedding dress or even looking but have been on some fabulous holidays! Panama, Norweigan Cruise, Curacao, and recently spent 3 weeks in Finland!
