3 Weeks to go
Mar 31, 2012
March 29, 2012It seems like I have been waiting for this surgery for a lifetime.
I have been 'overweight' since I was in high school. Trying to hide myself so no one would notice me. Guess I never made the connection that if I was bigger, how on earth could I hide?
Thanks to a horrible father I started to put on weight when I was 16. When I was 24 I went to WW and lost 40 pounds. I went from 175 to 135 - size 2x to size 8 and I felt great...I haven't had that feeling for over 30 years - I want it back...
I started my WLS journey in the summer of 2010, and it's taken this long to finally get here. I will be having surgery on April 23, 2012 and I can hardly wait.
I'm so grateful for my support system, my husband, my daughter and my sister... how could I possibly do this without them.
