1) What was your "wake up" moment when you realized you needed WLS? When my PCP said "Have you ever considered Weight Loss Surgery?" Pills and insulin were not doing a great job of controlling my diabetes, plus my BP was going up, and I was SICK of feeling handicapped! And, when I realized that I had come to accept premature death as my fate. How wrong was THAT??? My kids deserve better.
2) Your biggest struggle pre or post op? Not drinking 30 min before or after eating
3) Your biggest fear of having WLS? Dying, of course, but I had faith deep down that this was right, and God wasn't ready for me yet. So superficially? Hair loss. I've already had a great deal of hair loss due to my thyroid being messed up, so the thought of losing MORE scared the bejeebers out of me!
4) Your best moment that made you realize it was the best choice you made?
BEING HEALTHIER AND NOT HAVING A FRICKIN' PHARMACY OF MY OWN TO MANAGE!!!
Honorable mention goes to: Doing stairs WITHOUT the railing!! Dropping sizes!! Getting positive attention from the opposite sex!! Horseback riding!!! Valleyfair!! Fitting in any damn chair I choose to sit in!! Seriously, IS THERE an end to this list?
