Kelly's story
Well I guess its finally time to start my story.Been overweight all my life.Both parents are drug addicts.Buried myself in music and food.Moved out at 16 and lost 150 pounds in 2 years.Tured 19 and moved back in with the parents and 75 back.At 23 got married and pregnant and gained it all back and then some.Here I sit.Decided on RNY in November of 07'.Went to my first appointment and weighed 400 pounds.Found out that I had to stop smoking.Started taking chantix and had my appointments with the nutritionist,ect....Got approval for the RNY and then got delayed because of an underactive thyroid.Sense November with the help of my nutritionist I have gotten down to 363.I have now decided on a different surgery called the duodenal switch.I have done all my research and I know in my heart that this is the right surgery for ME.So now i am starting all over again.My first consult for this surgery is on June 3rd.I have to travel to NY because there are no surgeons in Massachusetts who do this surgery.Thats where i stand.Its just the beginning of my journey .Thanks everyone here who has helped me along the way.You guys are awesome...
To be continued
