Kristin Szilagyi从肥胖转变为美国美容,第1部分 - 我的肥胖生命

经过谢丽尔安恩 病人倡导者

Kristin Szilagyi等了我在2003年8月27日在我的医院房间她和我在一起直到那个护士带来了Gurney的那一刻,让我进入我的新生活。和克里斯汀在另一边就在那里,为我的体重减轻手术旅程提供支持和其他患者。

Kristin是肥胖的外科医生的第一名患者。她是一个壮观的患者。克里斯汀的减肥是示例性的。这就像看鸭子成为天鹅。她成为减肥手术的海报儿童。当我开车在距离的景点之前,我会看到她在广告牌上闪光的照片比生活更大的照片更大。

我怀疑克里斯汀总是在里面是一个美丽的人。在她减肥手术后,克里斯汀成为里面和外面的美国美女。

休息:Kristin,2002年患有胃旁路手术之后,您运行了外科医生的现场和在线支持小组。激励你想要帮助患者的内容是什么?

A:2001年,NJ几乎没有任何外科医生进行减肥手术。在我的健康保险计划中的外科医生有1.5年的手术候补名单。他还有一个月的支持小组。所以,我迫使自己到了前两次会议,因为我想一次会议?像aa?我没有问题!我不是瘾君子!我甚至不喜欢在公共场合看到!但是,如果我打算改变我的身体,我需要和其他人交谈。我每个月都去了。 I can't begin tell you the education, love and support this group of people showed to me, it was remarkable. So I joined their support group team. It was my way of tricking me to go every month. I didn't need them they would need me!

如果他们需要我做一些我必须在那里的事情。这是我做过的最好的决定。我从来没有去过一个有史以来的支持小组会议!男孩我学到了很多!现在我知道更好,我需要他们,他们不需要我。我想回馈让我告诉你我做得不够。我荣幸能够转动我生命中的故事,以便他们也可以对改变生活有望;生活没有标有痛苦和屈辱,而是一个明亮的梦想成为现实的梦想,这是一种没有肥胖机身带来的监禁的生活。为此,我很感激,因为没有我自己的痛苦,我永远无法真正理解同龄人的内部纷争。我们都有能力来制定我们想要的变化; sometimes we need to help each other along that journey.

问:请帮助我们的读者了解导致您成为肥胖的原因以及如何决定接受减肥手术(WLS)。

A:我和孩子一样没有超重。我开始加权我高中的高中。我现在知道10年后,我已经让自己变得肥胖了。那是一个吞咽的硬丸。谁实际上想要肥胖?更不用说让自己成为病态肥胖。哦,但我总是拥有的借口!我最大的是我每周6天在沙龙工作,吃早餐,午餐和晚餐。没有时间吃饭。我会在5分钟内嘲笑食物。 On the weekends I was too tired to cook, so let's order out or go out. Then I had kids".baby weight. Then I owned my own salon, it was too much to handle. I was borderline diabetic. I was depressed. Then there were marital problems. I'd lose twenty or thirty pounds then put it right back on plus another forty. I felt like a prisoner in my own body. I had no energy and had to take a handful of pills just to make it through the day. I even tried prescription weight loss drugs for a period of time. The list goes on and on. I decided that after being on every diet and programs out there, wasting my money on shams and fads. I had had it with myself; I was frustrated, discouraged and severely depressed. When you're that overweight, you feel like a failure. You feel embarrassed and self-conscious. I felt like there was nothing I could do, and that I was just going to be overweight for the rest of my life. I heard about gastric bypass surgery from a client who knew someone who had the surgery. In the beginning I thought the idea was absolutely crazy. I started doing research and finally made the appointment for a consultation.
