I’m finding wonderful inspiration here, and support! I wished I had found this earlier in my weight loss journey! Like years ago!
But.. gotta hand it to technology! Everyone is amazing! Though I, at this point in my life, had to go ahead and do bariatric surgery, I had the bypass Nov. 2017, it was have it, or end up in a wheel chair. My arthritis and degenerative disc disease, as well as other age related spinal issues, got so bad, due to my weight, and genetics, I was becoming unable to walk, even with a cane. I had to get a bariatric walker also. The pain has been so bad for so long, it makes you want to give up.
I started my journey, and walked in to the bariatric surgeons office, at 345 pounds, last July. God was looking out for me, I know for sure, because my primary insurance of Medicare, and my secondary via my husband, paid for it all. I had met my deductibles, and the journey began. I couldn’t even exercise well or at all, to lose the 20 pounds for a good faith start they wanted, so, I and my hubby, decided to do the post op diet plan to do it. I lived on protein drinks and a meal here and there, for three and a half months, and walking with my walker. I managed to do it, The doctor is amazing as is his entire staff!
Supportive and very non judgemental. Even when someone gained weight! I attended support groups, and loved it.
So, you all keep up the great work, and I’ll keep being inspired by you all. Thank you, from the bottom of my losing butt!
