I'm Andrea, 33 live in Rockford MI. Married, no human children just 2 dogs an african grey parrot and cockatiel. I have been a life long yo yo-er and eventually considering having a baby. But would llike to get my weight under control for me first. I'm at 260 5' 7 right now highest ever, Freaks me out to even say it out loud. No one around me knows that even. I have been to my seminar and Dr visit 0 so far. I go in for my first weigh in 1/17/13 of the 6 month requirement. I have also met with the NUT and exercise specialist.
I wish I would have looked into this sooner. A couple months ago I read something about the grehlin hormone and did some soul searching. I came to the conclusion that I need a permanent tool. My insurance is priority health but I am waiting to hear from my employer if they are switching to a different plan as of Feb. But might as well get things started.
I have always had a carb addiction. And like most here have tried "everything". Yet always gain back. I am also dealing with constant hunger. My husband is super supportive. Hes never said a word to me about being overweight and always makes me feel wanted no matter what size. But I would like to be healthy and hot for him! I have stayed around the 225 range for quite some time. Then out of the blue another 25 appeared. I am finding myself not fitting into clothing and very lazy. I have always remained active even with the weight till recently. So exercise isn't a problem. I have trouble with eating late and eating too much. I am someone that if you looked at me would say "theres no way shes 260"!
I have been lurking around this forum for a good month and love it. I am finding support here that I will need as I proceed. I don't plan on telling many prior to my surg. that may change as time goes on. So far my hubby and mother and couple friends know. there are so many misconceptions with WLS and I have already heard that I am taking the "easy" way out. So while I am trudging through the next 6 months I will keep things on the DL and hope it goes smoothly. Till next time
