can anyone who is of average weight really know what it is like to be mo?  when everyday is a struggle. it is hard to get out of bed, to walk, to sit.  the toll that it takes on your mind and body are tremendous.  the idea that i am going to be thinner and healthier is exciting and scary at the same time.  like most of you i have never been thinner for long, i  gain whatever weight i lost and then some. i'm tired. i want to be the person i can be. i want the life that i deserve. i want to like myself like i never have before!

it has now been one month since my seminar. i have gotten all my tests done and evaluations. i am waiting for medical clearance papers to be sent to my surgeon. i know i have gotten a lot done in a short period of time but now that i have fully decided to get this surgery done it feels like it is taking FOREVER! When i first started this process i was just looking into it. so many times i signed up for the informational seminar and cancelled, i even was going to this time but decided to go. all along i kept thinking just go through the steps and see where the path leads me. well, it led me here, waiting for confirmation. i needed this period to adjust to the idea of surgery to fix a life long battle that i have had with my weight.  i am sure now that this is the right thing.

i am in the process of considering either lapband or gastric sleeve bariatric surgery. pros/cons of either would help. i am leaning more to the gastric sleeve at this point. i am moving along with all my consults and it is getting close to the date i have to decide!
