Dec 19, 2009

I have my first appoinment at Guelph Hospital.... it is for May 10, 2010 and I am also on the cancellation list...fingers crossed, lol.  I have done the blood work and the sleep test, my family doctor is completely supportive of my choice.  So here we go on the journey, lucky for me I have a close friend who had the mini gastric bypass surgery last year so she has been soooo supportive in my research and questions.  I am soooo totally excited about having the surgery and getting my life back.  

I have however had a few concerns, not so much about surgery or my new life....but more about the ways people in my life have reacted to the news of the surgery.  I am glad I decided to tell some people the moment I was told I could start the process, but some people have not reacted the way I thought they would.  I wonder if other people have had the same issues.  Some of my friends think I am taking the "easy" way out  that losing weight is simply about 'willpower".  I have started to re-evaluate my life to a degree and perhaps distance myself from those I do not think will be supportive about the surgery.
