I have started the ball rolling! Watch me go!

May 12, 2012

Welcome to my blog. This will be my journal for weight loss.
 
After being morbidly for 17 years, I have to take a stand for myself. I've decided to have weight loss surgery. I'm going to have the gastric sleeve. I nervous and scared but also ready to start living a healthier life. This decision has been FAR from easy. I have debated this option for many years. While debating this, I have lost weight and regained over and over.  While doing this, I also have developed other health issues and anxieties over my health.  So here I am.

I have already taken the first few steps towards my surgery. I have had my consultation with the surgeon, had cardiac testing, pulmonary funtion testing, had an EGD and met with the dietician.  I still have other tests to take before setting my sugery date up.  I will be completely honest and say that deep down I have only decided about 85% that yes I will have the surgery. I still have about 15% of doubt about going through with it.  I don't know what that says about. I admit I am scared of myself and scared of failing.  Crazy right?

My husband seems supportive, he just wants me to be happy.  I wish it was just about being happy but I can't gaurantee I will be happy. My family is supportive, they want me healthy...they have watched me struggle for a long time. So anyways, I have started the ball rolling.

I am 36 yrs old, married and have two kids. I have a 17 yr old son and a 3 yr old daughter. This is my start.
