Meeting the Surgery Doctor

Oct 06, 2010

Well, I have my first appointment with the surgeon, the first orientation meeting.  That is going to take place on October 12, 2010.  I guess they will be weighing me and doing everything else as far as letting me know what I need to do before the surgery date.  I have been scared off and on about the surgery, can I do it myself, did I try everything I could to lose the weight on my own.  It's such a permanent thing but over all it falls back to the same thing, I was not able to do this on my own for many years and now my health is so bad, all the blood levels are up, cholesterol is high, blood sugar is high, blood pressure is up.  I am only 37 years old and my health is so bad.

Well I will post more after my appointment next week.  This is such a hard decision and I don't want to take it lightly.  My friend who did the surgery in April lost 100 lbs already but she was well over 300 so now she is at 250 and kind of at a stand still, I dont want that to happen.  I spoke to a lady at curves and she said most people find ways to cheat the surgery by eating things they shouldn't etc, and that most gain it all back by stretching out their stomachs again.

I am beliving by faith this will be the tool to help me get on my way to a healthy me, I don't care about looking good by being thinner I care about my life and getting my health under control.
