Making the Decision!
May 14, 2009
I had fought this weight problem clear back to grade school. Remembering so well in the 5th grade weighing 138 lbs..now how come i remember that after all these years beats me when i cant remember whats in the frig when i go look in. lolAbout a year ago, my friend who has lost over 200+ i knew had success with his surgery and was looking great and felt much better than he had in years. So i began looking into this surgery. I would call and schedule a free consultation only to then call back later and cancel..Off and on Off and On this went. Finally i decided as my mom used to say, "Took the bull by the horns" and called St V the first of January 2009, and i knew then i was going to go for it. Went for the pre consultation; almost ALMOST didnt stay to talk to a dr. I knew i wanted Chris Evanson as he had done my friends surgery. From that point on, the path started to form and now here i am approved FINALLY with insurance and awaiting a surgery date.
Sleep Apnea; Higher and Higher Cholesterol; and beginning to border line Blood Pressure increases prompted me. My wife would say i quit breathing several minutes at night. Heart and cancer runs bigtime in my family so that was another reason i am going for it.
I have received many encouragements; that i am going to be getting healthier; to be more active and to quit sitting on the couch so much. God is in the center of this decision and I know from the many blogs on here, so many of you have said I AM SO GLAD I HAD THIS DONE...
So hang on with me. I will keep you abreast on events coming to the change here in this life!
