Day Before Surgery June 28 2009
Jun 28, 2009
Well it's the day before surgery and I am starting to get nervous. I remember a month ago saying, "If they would let me have the surgery right now I would go in a heartbeat!!" Now I wish I had that confidence back. But I am still excited to go on this new journey in my life. I'm excited about getting healthier and slimmer!The weight has really taken it's toll on me physically and emotionally. Having a family history of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol is really frightening to me. My Grandfather passed away from complications of diabetes and heart disease. Not to mention he lost part of his leg due to diabetes. My brother, who was just 38, passed away almost a year ago. He had diabetes, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure just to name a few. After his death I really started analizing my life and my health. I knew I was wanting to have lap band done, but I didn't know if I was 100% ready to make that jump. I finally decided that I needed to take control of my life. If not, then I was more than likely going to end up like my brother. That was something that I definitely didn't want.
So, here I am... a day away from my BIG day!! I am anxious, nervous, scared, excited... you name it, I am feeling it. More than anything I am ready! I am ready to live again, ready to enjoy my sweet little boy and ready to hold my head high. It's a HUGE step and I'm leaping!
