About Me
- Darnell
- I am now firmly planted in my 30's and have been married 7 years and have two kids with epilepsy. My husband, kids and I all share one or two genetic deletions that appear to affect us all very differently. I adore my family and the challenges that come along with them. God has been a strong influence in our lives and truly directs our paths.

New order of business
So first off, here is my new adventure, Swag Bucks. So if the widget shows up like it is supposed to, anyone can see my swag bucks progress, and should be able to click a link and activate their own account in swag bucks. Not the quickest way to earn real spending money, but a legitimate slow and steady way to earn a little while you navigate the web.
Next order of business....
Bariatric surgery. I have resolved that for myself, my best option is to go dramatic. This following Monday I have my first appointment with a surgeon. I will give more details as I go. If you have had bariatric surgery, feel free to comment and give your opinions and suggestions.

WOW
So it has been a while since I have been on here, but for good reason. I now officially have two children with epilepsy and both share a chromosomal deletion I just found out I have. My poor son has mine and another one that my husband has missing. Guess our baby making days are better off being over.
Anyway...I have successfully (or unsuccessfully) regained all weight previously lost. Now up to a new all time high of 270#. I am now two days away from my third medical weight loss class so that I may be a candidate for bariatric surgery. My father had a full gastric bypass almost two years ago now. Had a bunch of complications, but is now well. He was such a bad diabetic though that I figure this is likely why he struggled so badly. He states now he is happy and would not have changed his decision. I now am looking at either the gastric bypass or lap band procedure. Thursday I should know more.
I am struggling with getting excersize now that I am essentially a stay at home mother. No dog to be forced to walk, and no gas money to get anywhere other than the "have to be" places. Too easy to make up 101 excuses. I know this, I feel this, and feel miserable. Why is it just so difficult to make anything happen? Thanks to Kru Meier at Itsera family fitness, he taught me what I need to know, how to do it, etc. I just can't seem to get my life under control right now.
