So I've got some reasons I want to have WLS. I thought I might list some of them.
1. Start off with the obvious. I'd like to loose weight. I currently weigh 350 lbs. I'd love to get down to 200 lbs. I would be content at 225 lbs. That's what I weighed when I got married 16 years ago. I am 5' 11" so that isn't unrealistic.
2. I like to be forever ridded of my cpap machine. Boy would I ever.
3. I'd love to have no hint of type II diabetes.
4. I'd love to have normal blood pressure and get off my meds.
5. I'd love to be able to wear my original wedding band. I think it is a size 11. I currently have a cheap replacement that is a size 17 I think.
6. I'd love to see if being lighter might help lessen the chronic mild depression I have had for the past 6-7 years.
7. I'd like to continue coaching my daughter's soccer team, but do so without gasping for breath during the easiest drills.
8. I'd like to take up mountain biking.
9. I'd like to take some form of martial arts.
10. I'd like to weight lift again, I did a good bit in high school.
I have some other life goals, but the ones listed above are all weight related. I think they are do-able, and I will give them my darndest if insurance will approve my request.
Keep praying!
