In the beginning....

Feb 17, 2011

Well, I have never blogged before, but I have heard that it can be therapeutic, so I'll give it a try.

My name is Jenn, I am 33.  I am married with 2 young children.  I am a nurse (aka I should be taking better care of myself), I am a graduate student, and I teach, whew... not a spare moment!

I am currently in the midst of the pre-op hoop jumping, I have been going to my PCP for the last 5 months (started 9/10) for "supervised weight loss" with no results.  I have started therapy and some anti-depressants to help with the "head stuff" that goes along with this journey, which I am very thankful for, but that leaves little energy for weight loss right now, I am just trying not to gain.  I have been to the informational seminar and completed the insurance pre-approval and paperwork, I meet with the nutritionist/coordinator in 2 weeks and then my official psych eval in one month.  I am hoping for a surgery date the end of April, right after my last final exam.  The timing will be good, I'll have the summer off to work on my thesis and recoop.

I have decided on the VGS.  While initially I thought the band, I quickly changed my mind after minimal research, then I thought RNY, but have decided that the sleeve is best for me.  I CANNOT WAIT to start this journey!
