Hey yall I thought I would let ya know a lil bit about me. I am a mom to a autistic daughter.. and I have been over weight ALL my life. I have been on this journey since I was 21 and I am now 35. My biggest was 375. and I am at 275 as of today. and I have MANY health problems. Including TYPE 2 diabetes HBP, HC, Kidney issues, Sleep Apnea, COPD. Gerd. And I take 14 pills a day. SO enough is enough,, And I am having my surgery at JHBM in Baltimore MD. The past 5 months have been HELL!!! I had a user living with me, who wanted and did whatever she wanted and she has a 7 yr old daughter that I HAD to take over to raise since she didn't give a **** about her. And this past Saturday March 16th 2013 the mother disappeared with out any notice. So Tuesday afternoon my fiance took her home to her grandmother. Needless to say my daughter is crushed. but she is doing better day by day. But today is the 1st day that we are all ok. for now til it hits us again. So today I called my bariatric case manager and waiting for her to call me back to see if the 6 months I have will work. I only missed December. Either way I will be ok since the other 6 months will be up in June. So off to check on daughter... Write more later
