And so it begins..

Jan 13, 2010

Today was the first offical day of my journey.  I am scared, I am nervous and I am hopeful all at the same time.   I had my first weigh in today and met with the nurse to go over all the information and find out how this all goes and in what order.  It is still really hard to look at the scale and see 309 pounds representing ME.   I am so much more than just my weight but today it was sure weighing me down.

I am afraid to fail at this and I am trying to be as realistic as I possibly can be about how my life will be forever changed after the RNY or Banding.   Just not sure what to do yet.  There are so many pluses and minuses to each procedure.  Maybe after talking to the surgeon I will get a better sense of what to do.

I am trying not to get too excited yet or tell too many people since I want to make sure/sure the insurance is going to approve it.  I dont see any reason they would not since I am very well qualified! 

I meet with the dietician next week then the surgeon on Feb. 1st.   I am really looking forward to feeling better and being able to be more active and have a more full life I deserve.  One that is not food centric but fun and active.
