In the Beginning....
Apr 05, 2010
Im just at the beginning of this journey and to be honest I never thought it would get this far. For years I've thought I could lose weight by myself without any help. Yet here I am, 318lbs and about to turn 38. I've been heavy ever since I can remember. The last picture I saw of myself where I was actually the right weight was from my 7th birthday party. Just like so many others out there I have tried it all. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach.....all with the same result. Sigh.... I was always against the idea of surgery because it seemed so drastic and I should be able to do it myself right????
Just a short time ago I saw a lady I had met last July. She had been heavy when I met her but OMG!!! She Looks SO GREAT!!! I said to her......"You look fabulous!!! What are you doing???" She said she thought I knew that she had had weight loss surgery. I really had no idea. She told me how happy she was that she had made that choice and how filled with energy she is now. I can say she was my inspiration. Since then I have had a consutation with and amazing surgeon and I am on my way into this process. I am approching this with the most positive attitude I can and I am determined to finally find my life!!! My Surgeon wants me to get a check up with my primary care doctor, a sleep study to check for any sign of apnea, and psych eval to make sure I'm in the right state of mind to take on this challenge. I have all the appointments scheduled and Im writing everything down. Im finally feeling like there really is an end to all the struggle and I wont have to be fat my entire life.
