Met with Dr. Shin yesterday for my initial consult.  Got measured weighed and all that good stuff.  Medical history and finally met Dr. Shin.  He seems to be a very kind hearted caring surgeon.  Lays all the facts out and which helps you with the decision as to which procedure to have done.  I have chosen to have the Roux-en-Y. 

Today I met with the psychologist and started that process.  Boy the steps you have to go through for this procedure.  If they made new parents go through some of this stuff before having children we may have a whole lot less abuse and neglect, but there I go digressing again.  I don't think there will be any problems with the psychological, I think I am pretty well adjusted, just fat.

Dr. Shin does want me to lose 20 pounds, and I am going to do my best.  I just need to get out there and move more.  It seems more like a reality now, so I have a better chance of losing that 20 pounds.  The process takes so long and you start to give up, so this has jump started me on the weight loss kick.  Well that is all for now, as always, I wish everyone out there that is in the beginning, the middle or on the final steps of this process the best of luck on your own weight loss saga. Remember we didn't put this weight on overnight, it surely will not come off over night.
