Good Morning Thinner Times;
My name is Tigerlily, I live on the Gulf Coast, I am excited to have found this web site. I am beginning the WLS here in a few weeks. I am excited about this next phase in my life. I am married to a US Navy Seabee who is my life as well as our three rotten to the bones boys. I currently work in the medical field and I am a full time sudent.
I have battled with the idea of weight loss surgery for about a year now. I was insulted about a year ago when I had gone to my PCM and he recommened surgery. I thought oh great here we go again another military doc who has no clue what he is talking about. There was no way I could be over weight that much to be a valid canadite for weight loss surgery. I still looked good in my jeans and flip flops and cute shirts. OH boy was I wrong, how the mind can play horrible tricks on someone. And yes the mirrors don't lie but its easy to lie to yourself. That is what I was doing. A few pounds a year here and there weren't much. I knew I had bought newer cloths*and cut the size off of them* Every way I could convince myself that my weight was not so out of control. My doc offered to take a photo of me. I cried. When I realized I had become over weight enough that it was becoming a physical danger to my health. I couldn't believe it.
So fast forward to today. My pre-op is Nov 2nd and surgery is scheduled for 10 Nov 09. I am so excited that I can have my old life back, that my relationship with my husband can only get stronger. I want to be the mom I used to be. I truly believe this is the right thing for me to do at this point in my life. I look forward to getting support from this web site as well as being supportive of others.
Good Morning from Mississippi Gulf Coast
