First of all...

Dec 21, 2007

I've not done much of the blogging.  Obviously this is my first post here on OH.  Not sure where to begin.  I've lurked around here for quite some time now and have been working through getting all my pre-requisites and approvals for lap RNY.
I have to say that i'm excited to get a tool to help me overcome this obesity thing.  I'm type II diabetic and have co-morbiities to go along with it.  My biggest reason (motivation?) to get the surgery is for my health, but mainly to beat diabetes. 
I'm scared.  Point blank.  I'm scared of the unknown.  I'm scared that I can't make all the changes needed for this tool to work for me as it has for so many others.  There's also a piece of me that's silently just walking in circles and muttering that "it doesn't matter anyway".
I know that sounds bad, but take it for what it's worth.  It's probably that nice devil advocate in me coming out.  I guess my biggest question is "Does the end justice the means and are the rewards worth the pain and extra skin?"
