Well where should I begin. I was born October 28,1971, and I was pre-mature. Probably the only time I was under weight or even close to the weight I should have been. I have lived all of my life as an over weight person. I have never known what is was like to actually buy jeans at Walmart, or to buy panties that the other girls my age were wearing. I was always wearing clothes that my Grandmom or my Aunts were passing down the line.
Now that I have my Gastric Bypass surgery scheduled, I am looking towards a new outlook on life. A lot of the people I have met through the Bypass Support Group have said that the excess skin will go back to normal. Well the only normal I know is fat! So when I start losing the excess weight, I will be as amazed as ever at my new appearances.
My surgery is on Monday at 11am. It is now Friday night 11:30 pm. Everyone keeps asking me if I am nervous or ready to say "No way, it ain't happening". There isn't a chance in hell I'm not going to go through with this. I know anyone and everyone that has to go 'under the knife' is always a little worried, but I have complete confidence in my doctor and his staff at the hospital. This is somethng that I have researced for three years and never thought I was a candidate for it. I just figured it would never be the right thing for me to do. But once I started the support group, I realized that there were a lot more people in the area that felt the same way I did, and either have had the surgery, or it was on a date to come .
So here I sit, basically hours away from the surgery that will basically give me a new life, I'm not worried the least bit. I want to go to this surgery with an open mind, and know that what the doctor is doing is aiding in the weight loss battle, if I don't help myself with diet and excersize, what was the real idea for going through all the poking and prodding I just did two weeks ago,for the pre-op.
I will almost definately drop a line, after I come home and start on my way to recovery, so be looking for my next post!
