WOW!!! I has been quite sometime that I have been on here. I have had some bumps along my journey, I initially was suppose to get my RNY surgery 2 yrs ago. Some things didn't go as planned and I did not get it .  The good news is that I managed to lose 70lbs, and I am very happy to announce that my new surgery date is 5/27/2014. I have been through a tough journey but my book just begins. I have seen reviews on here and am truly inspired by all of you who are going through this journey as well. I am here with open ears and a positive attitude if anyone wants to talk, I know I can use some friends. 

    I know I have not given an update in awhile, it's just been crazy this month. I have had all my pre-op appointments this month and that is what has kept me so busy. Well I am almost done with them and just need to keep on focusing losing some weight before the surgery. I have been trying so hard this month and I think I have done good on not cheating, but I feel I have not gone very far, but I will see when I weigh in for my Dr. appointment. I have been fitting walking in daily, I have been parking farther when I go to the stores and I have been taking the stairs instead of the elevator most of the time. I am also proud to say that I have joined CURVES and will be starting next week. Now that I am going through this and with all the Dr. appointments so many things in my health have been all popping up and it's scary and a relief at the same time scary because I my health is worse than I thought and a relief because if I was not going through this I would have never found out of my other health issues. So now that all this is happening to me I am so truly taking my life seriously, and that is what gives me the motivation to keep going. I tell myself I don't want to die every time I want to give up.

       I just wanted to start off by saying that I completed my first step to my WLS journey yesterday. I went to the WLS seminar with my best friend and learned so much more and I still know that there is plenty more that I  need learn more about. I actually shook (praying and praying that he will be) my surgeon Dr. Georgescu. I got kinda of bummed when he said that he limits his patients who have medicaid as their insurance to 2-3 patients per month. But when I seen my PCP today she said that it is not so bad after all I so many things to do before. Well after my visit with my PCP, I went ahead and called Dr. Georgescu's office to see if I can schedule an appointment and YAY I was my first appointment with him will be on 3/26/2012. Of course I am very excited, the seminar also mentioned that it is very important to start making life style changes right away, which means proper diet and exercise. It is so that we also get our bodies used to the new change and believe me I am ready for change. So as of tomorrow I am starting to make better choices of what I eat and include 30 minutes of exercise, I am also going to give up on pop even though I only drink diet pop I still need to eliminate it. Well I will keep posting my journey and pray that all will go well.
