The courage to move forward

Jan 27, 2014

Today I had my first set of pre op appointments and it was surreal to me. Looking back I will probably think my fears and behavior are silly but just sitting and listening to my doctor made me think about my journey with the Lap Band and how different this sequence of events is from that journey. I feel so supported and welcomed at Dr. Halmi's office and I feel like I have a team of people cheering me on. This was so different from 9 years ago during my Lap Band when I felt preached to and condemned for allowing my self to get to this size.

I am very afraid as I think I have been watching too much You ube and hearing the stories about other people's complications. My doctor is very very open to questions and listening to me! What a new experience. Also, reading the forums is helpful in allowing me to really ask my burning questions and get past What if this happens to me?

Looking forward to the other side, knowing that my journey will not be easy but like anything the brighter the rainbow the heavier the rain. #prayingGod'sBlessing
