Samanthac 3 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi My name is Samantha , I have just had my 2nd appt with the clinic I will be using and my first pre op appointment is on the 3rd sept. I have to say I am so excited for the surgery and for the first time in my life i know ive got this , reading so many posts the good the not so good has given me such a great insight to what i need to prepare for. I must say my main concerns are excess skin and Hair loss but at the end of the day these things can be overcome - wigs are cheap lolI have been overweight for as long as i remember yes i was one of those little chubby kids at primary school and although i carry myself well and most people wouldn't think im over 100kgs its the facts , the health issues, the thought that maybe i wont be around to watch my kiddies grow up and the way i feel when i see myself naked. These are all good reasons i think to have the surgery. I have scoliosis ( curvy spine) and the extra weight is certainly a issue when you already have back problems I also have stage 3 esophagitis and a hiatus hernia, My specialist seems to think they can fix all this at the same time and obviously the less i weigh the better for my back also.So here I am excited as a just hope the next few months go really fast. I have a read alot about peoples storys and I think my main goal over the next few months will be to start eating less , cut the carbs and fizzy drink as much as I can leading up to surgery. I am not a sweet tooth so hopefully that wont change but i do love a glass of coke and I love love my coffee.< /span>I am pretty positive in general and have a bubbly happy disposition ,being successful in my career and a great mum I feel i am letting not only myself down but my kids by limiting what i can do with this extra weight.so hope this was what i should be here as a intro as new to all this looking forward to making some online friends for support on our journeys Sam 3 Flygirl123, ProudGrammy and jessiquoi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
