Memoirs Of The Medically Fat

 

I have been living a never ending nightmare of a life for the past year now.

Last September I had my gall bladder removed because it had ruptured and was poisoning the inside of my body.

Done.

Now one year and 70 extra pounds later I have coined the term "medically fat" to explain my condition and extra added girth.

The gastroentenoligist has told me that I now have extra bile gathering in my stomach because I have no gall bladder to store it in.  Awesome!

Extra bile + no gall bladder = 1 "medically fat" mama!

I have tried everything from dieting, joining the old ladies gym (Curves), to starving myself! Nothing works. I can literally smell a cookie and instantly gain 5 pounds. Ladies this is no good!

Alas, there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Next week they want to stick a camera down my throat to explore the inside of my "medically fat" body and decide what to do with me. Medicine to control "bile reflux" means my medical fatness will soon go away.

Stand by.
