I Have A Dream

Oct 19, 2007

Four Days until the start of the 6 month Options Program.....

The more I view this site the more I am convinced that Weight Loss Surgery is the catalyst I need to pursue to open possibilities that I once felt were bleak. I do not presume to believe that this is a magic pill and answers to my struggles in life. I do have a dream and I will not be satisfied until I know that I have pursued every means possible to win my personnal struggles in life.

My weight contniues to be my oppressor. It has robbed me of my self-worth, stripped me of my dreams and stiffled my pursuite of happiness. I'm tired of wollowing in the valley of despair. literally and figuratively. Even though I face the difficulties of today and tommorrow. I still Have a dream.

I Choose not to look at the options program as a barrier to my Goals I'm a long distance runner...actively looking for solutions on how to achieve my goals in life. Any Goal worth pursuing requires hard work. I am willing to take the risk to set my mind , body , and soul free.

The Start of my Weight Loss Surgery Journey

Oct 07, 2007

Well I did it.....I went into my doctors office and decided to put my foot down. I walked through that door. Told him with a heavy heart." I want to have weight Loss surgery". He said to me if you want it I'll make it happen. Is that all I had to do? I must of looked really plump that day. This isn't the first time I requested this surgery..but it the first time I got the response I wanted. So on September 13, 2007 with my questionare sheet ( the question were a bit personal) I sat in on the introductionary meeting with about 30 other hopefulls, all shapes and sizes. They said (Kaiser Permanente Nutrionist in Baldwin Park of Southern California)  they would call me in the first week in October to set up the 6months long process to get qualified for for the WLS. 6month!!!.

They called the first week , October 4,2007,  liked promised and gave me and October 24,2007 meeting time.  What a great Birthday Present ( two days later).

So my Journey continues. I weighed myself today and I'm at 303.2 ponds as of October 7,2007. The surgery cannot come fast enough. But then again Rome wasn't build in a day.
