Default the REAL hey there keeblercookie thread!

My real name is Julie. I am 28 years old and I live in Akron, Ohio. I am ready to make a change in my life, for the better. I am 5'5 and weigh 264 lbs. My highest weight was 295, that was my last weigh in before I had my son. I lost 29 pounds in about 6 weeks after his birth. I think most of it was water. I made it to 37and a half weeks before having a c-section because my liver enzemyes were out of wack. I had diabetes and preclamsia. I was very lucky my son came out so healthy. Knock on wood!!!!!!!! He is now eight months old and very health. Not even a cold!!!!! I have been married for 2 years and eight months. I recently stopped working because of the stress and how physically demanding my job was. After 8 and a half hours I would come home and be in so much pain from standing and walking all day I could hardly make dinner and take care of my son. I only wanted to come home and sit on the couch and watch tv and of course eat because of all the stress at work. I Have come to a point in my life that I dont know what to do about my life. It really sucks!!! I am seriously considering having wls. If I don't do this I will never be healthy. I am afraid of something going wrong. I want to be around to play with my son and see him grow up to be strong like his father.

Julie, your weight is not your only issue. It could be some post partum depression as well. Go see your Doctor, and discuss these issues, before doing surgery. Surgery is life long thing. Please give it lots of serious thought before jumping the gun

Julie,

i agree with Ditzy about checking with your doctor. i had an awful time after the birth of my first son and should have gotten help.

As to surgery: have you done much research? I do know that one of the main reasons for me to have this surgery was I was afraid that I would not be able to take care of my boys.

Post often Julie, 'cause we care about how you are doing.
