My Journey Begins~6-16-10

Yesterday, I saw my own doctor to discuss having lap band surgery. She agreed that it was a good idea for me. We talked about things I had learned from my research. My daughters were with me so that they could hear the facts from the doctor and they could ask whatever questions they might want to ask. After our discussion, my doctor said that the nurse would get the info I need and call me.So today, Donna [the nurse] called and gave me the number for the weight loss surgeon at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Chris Eagon. I called and was instructed to leave a message with my name, address and phone number in order to receive their information packet. I immediately called and left my information. I should receive the packet in about 2 weeks. I am anxious to read the info and get this thing started.
In the meantime, I told my oldest daughter that I felt as though I should eat all the things I enjoy now because later I won't be able to. Later, I will begin an entirely new life, complete with eating habits. I am more than fine with that. I will do whatever I have to do in order to get my life back. I have been fighting this demon for a few years now because of a thyroid condition and an inept physician and I want to change things and enjoy my life before I am too old to do all the things I enjoyed before the weight.
My children are very happy for me and very supportive of this decision. That makes all the difference in the world. My friends are 100% behind me, so I have a great support team in my corner. That, combined with my endless faith, will get me through everything. Onward and upward, my friends.
