Post one...a little late though...
Sep 21, 2010
Better late than never, I say! :-)So a little about myself...
I was born under-weight and spent the first 6 years of my life with people consistently feeding my so that I could get to a decent weight. Then, when I was about 6, all of that eating caught up with me. I have always been the taller/bigger girl in my age group. Throughout elementary and middle school, it was partially under control since I was active more of the time.
When I was 12, I went to my first Weight Watcher meeting. Through WW, I have lost and gained hundreds of pounds (probably)...
After being on a diet for so long and not being truly successful, I realized that I needed another tool to add to what I already know. I am, overall, a fairly healthy eater...I just have a problem with portion size.
I have decided to get the VSG surgery. Being sleeved is going to be the tool I need to (FINALLY) truly be successful in my weight loss.
About a month ago, I went to my first seminar to learn about the sleeve surgery. While there, something just clicked and I knew that it was the time for me to start this journey. I went to the consultation and everyone was so nice and supportive and every time I go there, I just feel more and more like this has been the best decision of my life.
After meeting with my surgeon today and taking my psych test, I have begun to get more excited about completing all of the prelim work and setting a date for surgery.
For the first time in a long time, I am really excited about something and really looking forward to everything I will be able to do once I lose some weight. This is only the beginning.
