i started t his journey back in march of '10. a visit to my dr. for some ache or pain, as i have many (fibro), it was the week of my birthday, i finally worked up the courage to talk to my dr about "gulp" wls...he said he would love to help me and would most definetely write a recommendation. whew...first hurdle.  next, an informative group meeting...sister attends with me, we both feel better after hearing the surgeon speak...dietary consults,psych consults,finally meet the surgeon, again my sister is my backbone, super nice dr, dr timothy monson, lays it all out there on the table, i like that! now we must see a dietary specialist as he needs me to take off some pre surg weight. yep, more appts...this dr is also very nice, 2 months later 40 lbs gone!  and surgery appt is made for 9/28/10. 2 days away! scared? yes! more anxious...justwant it to be done, and start the process....process of living life very differrently. dealing with stress, without food, dealing with emotions without food.
