Why I chose to have surgery...

Sep 20, 2009

I, too, started questioning myself right before surgery....I would say to myself...."Do you really want your insides rearranged?"  I've lost a little weight, why can't I continue and do this on my own???  Then, I thought back at all my "attempts", my numerous attempts and said..."Marsha, how is this working for ya????  Well, it never worked for me and why was I to think it would work this time if I tried again.  I also was scared to death of being diabetic and that was where I was headed.  For me, 1.  diets for me have never worked and why was I to think a diet would now magically work? 2.  I am going to be diabetic unless something drastic happens and I lose weight.......That did it.  I was fine with my choice. 

You have to access where you are, is that where you want to be, how can you realistically get to where you want to be.....then, do whatever it takes to get there.

Three week out, feeling good, 18 lbs lost....I have a lot more work to do but now I am confident that I can do it with the tool my doctor gave me.
