out of Breath

OMG, I took my family to the St. Louis Zoo and I thought I was going to pass out from the walking and the heat. I really don't know what it is that is wrong with me now. I have always been over weight but have been flexable and able to hold my own. Now I can barely walk a half of a block without being so winded. I am so a shamed that I try to hide the fact that I lose my breath with such short walks now. I can wait to have this WLS so that I can feel good about my self again. Thanks for listening, Ms. Butterfly

This heat lately has really gotten bad and when you are overweight it makes it even worse. Have you decided on a surgeon and hospital yet for your surgery? I read your profile , we are a lot alike about not letting others see our real feelings. Of course I think most overweights probably are the same way ,that may be why we are so overweight. We stuff everything. Hope your journey to weight loss surgery goes smooth and you get your surgery soon. Welcome to the Board. Keep posting. Jan

Hey Jan, I am looking at Dr Eagan in St. Louis. I have been talking to his office and will go to a meeting to meet him soon. My insurance changes July 1, 2006 and I hope to have it soon after that. Thanks for the support and I will continue to post.
