Hi everyone.  I am 36 and the mother of a 10 year old girl.  Before giving birth i was only slightly overweight, never having to lose more than 40 or 50 pounds.  After the birth of my daughter it got way out of control.  i lost 40 pounds and gained it back.  that was the last time i was able to lose any weight.  the depression kicked in and i lost control.  now i am up to 350 pounds and can barely function.  i can't put on my own shoes and socks, or clean the house i get winded too fast.  i can barely walk.  thats when i started looking into bariatric surgery with kaiser.  i took all the classes i needed to and all the necessary tests, when it came time for the psych evaluation i failed.  they said i was not stable and my depression was still prominent.  so another 3 years have passed.  i am recently married and am ready to proceed with my journey.  my kaiser doc sent a referrel for me and 2 days later i got a call with my orientation time and a new psych eval...all of this is happening in 5 days!!! i am so excited.  wish me luck........gald to be here !!!
