And along we go!

It slow moving, but I'm going to get there!!
I'm still really nervous about getting the surgery. I wonder if this is normal, or not. I go back and forth in my mind about whether I want it or not. As a matter of fact, I told myself that I would try to not get it. This weekend I went onto Sparkpeople.com (a really great website by the way), and followed the routine for about a day, and then the weekend came along. Out the window it went!!! Anyway, so here I am. Still wondering. I have read a book about Gastric bypass, and have been talking to people that have had it. I am really preparing myself for this because I realize that one way or the other it is going to change my life. And there is NO GOING BACK!! So ofcourse, I am really thinking long and hard about it. But overall, I am still pressing forward with it.
I made an appointment for my psych. eval, and its on Oct. 12th. I have to wait and see whats going on with my insurance, still. Hopefully, I'll have more news next post.
I actually weighed myself the other day and I can't beleive that I now weigh about 260 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEKKKKK! Its so hard for me to see that number. I am the only person in my family who is fat. My mother weighs friggin 115 lbs for crying out loud! I feel very alone. I am hoping that this surgery will help all that.
I would love to hear from others about their experiences!! Please email me, or post; I'd really love the company!

Hi everyone! I have been poking around OH for a while, but had not made up my mind about having gastric bypass. I am pretty sure that I want to have the surgery now, and am looking forward to 'being on the other side.' I realize that I have a VERY long road ahead of me now that I have chosen a surgeon. I have an info packet that needs to be filled out. I actually am trying to get onto a group insurance plan right now that I know will cover the surgery for me, but I will pay out of pocket if necessary. I am calling to make an appointment for the psych eval. tomorrow and will update soon. Wish me luck and God bless!
