I turned 40 and thought of all the news years resolutions and all the birthdays I promised myself I would get in shape and I realized I had let it get too far away from me. I needed help. It wasn't me even thinking about surgery I was seeking another diet plan when my doctor reminded me about how many I had been on and that I needed to consider the alternative of surgery.
Its not about how I look at this point. I am scared for my health. I want to do so many things with my children and I just don't have the mobility I used to have. Its also the pain. Each day I rise with hip, knee and joint pain and I'm tired of living like this.
I'm excited and apprehensive. Nervous for the process but planning for my future. I need to make these changes and never look back. There are so many reasons why I'm saying yes to this surgery as an aid in getting my life back on track. Its been almost an entire year of numerous tests, waiting periods, letter, meetings but they have all set me slowly into the process and the time has helped me make better preparations. I'm not even started and my advice to someone considering surgery is to take all the time you need to get there. Don't rush it and take all the support you can get.
