Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 i had my upperGI i was instructed to not eat or drink anything after 12 midnight i was happy to oblige naturally. Seeing this has set me on my path to being a pre-op like some of you.I was so excited once i finally found the right spot where i was suppose to be in. Amazing how so many people can work in one hospital and still not know where one office is(laughing). I pre-registered by phone like a good big little girl and that put me in line first(smiles). So they take me to another room you know the hurry and wait game fornately i was not sitting there long. Til a lady came in and called my name i was like wow that was fast. She was like i have some questions for you i was like ok n/p she was like i didn't wanna embarrasse you but how much do you weigh ma'am mind you she was small and this really has no barring on the conversation at all but i thru it in there anyways. (giggling)I said well i am 300lbs she said ok because we have a weight requirement for this tables here i am sorry i was like don't be sorry which it isn't her fault really. She was like sit here i will be right back and all these things came into my mind like you know this is the story of my life just another blow to the belly for being a big person.Well she came back to me and she said ma'am we are going to do this in the ER for you because this is what we do with some of the patients that have this procedure done i was like thank gawd because i really don't want to stall my process. She said ma'am it will all be taken care of you will be fine and it will all work out. I decided i may 1 day wright a book about the life of a morbid obese womens life. But the kicker is here i haven't been morbid obese my entire life only after child birthing did i become a big women and trying to diet many times i became a yo-yo dieter . However i do think it was inevitable for me not to become overweight as my entire family is over weight since they became adults. As a young child i was skinny and a teenager and up until i was 21.But today made me realize alot of things that i am ever so glad i made this decision because i am so tired of going through things like this in my life having to have special accmodations because of being a morbit obese person but i am still a person big or small and a good person and a kind loving and giving and that will never change no matter what. In care always, in NJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
