Here We Go!

Required seminar - check
Booklet filled out -check
Initial Appointment - Pending

So, about one month ago I went to see my PCP and found out I have DM and high cholesterol. I'm 35, I was stunned!
Being a nurse I know how being overweight can be detrimental to my health, so why have I let it get this far?

I went to a WLS seminar and learned about my options. The sleeve and RNY sound like the options I should discuss with my surgeon. My appointment is set! I go n to see him in less thatn a week, WOO HOO!    

I've been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding this issue and have been reading some other blogs of people who have undergone the procedure. I'm encouraged! The thing that scares me is that I need to lose 20 pounds before I EVEN have the surgery! WHAT???  Not what I wanted to hear! 
The nurse told me not to lose weight between now and the initial appointment so that every pound counts towards the goal. 

By the way, I was suppossed to get married today. I am not going through with it.
