42 year old mother of 5 year old twin boys, both diagnosed with autism.....one mild the other more severe. Love my little men! Married to a supportive hubby. I have struggled with my weight since i was about 11-12 years old. I have done every diet, plan, program, pill you could probably think of. I have been as high as 250 lbs and my lowest was 150 lbs. Always up and down....spending a ridiculous amount of $$ in the process.
I approached my Dr a year ago asking him to refer me for surgery. At 5 foot 4.5 and weighing 242 lbs, I fit into the criteria...however he refused. Said that only people who weight about 300 plus pounds get bypss surgery. So, for the last year I have been doing my homework and researching and talkin to people about the surgery. I am going back to him on Thursday to again request a referral.....i will explain that if he can just send the referal the bariatric doctors with make the decision as to whether I qualify or not. Fingers crossed he understand......if not, i guess i will try to find a doctor who is willing to refer me.
At 42 years old I am tired of the struggle. I have two little boys with special needs that need me to be healthy and mobile....I already have problems with my knees and ankles. I want to get on track and just live life!
