13 Days!
Jun 18, 2013
Hello all! 13 days and counting until my surgery! Its getting down to the nitty gritty! I go for my EGD tomorrow and that is my final testing. I am just so excited. Im a little over whelmed on what exactly to take vitamin wise but I`m working on it. I keep researching all these before and after photos and it just amazes me. I love seeing all these results and I hope I.m the same way.This has been a dream of mine and its at the tip of my fingers. I cant help but think something is going to get in the way of me having the surgery. I feel like I cant get my hopes up because there is always a little doubt they will come back and say well we decided not to approve it. I cant help but think these thoughts even though its already been approved lol. Ill be sure of it when I`m on that operating table! Ill write again soon and I hope everyone is doing well :)
July 2, 2013 will be the day I start living MY life :)

Hi! I went to my doctors appointment last week and scheduled my surgery, July 2nd is when my life starts with no limitations! I also go for an EGD June 20th. I have never been so excited (besides the day I got married) I have had a lot of support from people that have reached out to me on here. I love hearing everyone`s story. I havent really told many people about my surgery because I dont want to hear their opinions. The only one I care about is my husbands,who is so completely supportive. My favorite thing to do is look at before and after pictures of people that have had gastric done. I always sit there and say wow they look great, I cant wait until I am in their position.
Introduction :)
Apr 08, 2013
Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth. I have been overweight the majority of my 25 years of life. I have always been active and played year round sports, but it`s in the genes. I recently got married in October 2012 to the love of my life and best friend. He is my biggest fan. Once we got married, he put me on his insurance. I went to the required seminar for weight loss surgery in February, went to see my surgeon in March, I got approved for my surgery March 28th and I go April 18th for my final appt and to schedule my surgery! This is such a dream come true. I have wanted this for so so long. I may be young BUT I feel so old. My body is literally holding me back from life and everything I want to do.
My list of things I want to do:
1- Be able to cross my legs
2-My husband to be able to pick me up
3-Run a marathon
4-Go skydiving
5-Go shopping at Victoria Secret
6-Not shop in the plus size section
7-Go to the gym and not feel self concious
8-Be a trophy wife
9-To be able to sit in a chair or seat and not worry if I wont fit or break it
10-LOVE MYSELF!
These are things that people to take for granted everyday and not even notice it. I would kill to have all these things. One day I WILL.
