Here's to a new life!

Feb 21, 2010

I have waited so long for this time to come and now that it is here I am more excited than ever. Back when I first started questioning weight loss surgery, it was just a random suggestion to the doctors, after numerous tests showed nothing to be wrong with me, except them all saying " I needed to loss weight"! Well DUH!! I look at myself everyday, I would know if I did or not. When I finally got a doc to send the consult, I was in the process of moving duty stations. Now that I got to the new duty I have received nothing but great care from the surgery staff. It has been less than 3 months since first seeing the surgeon and getting approved. I feel blessed because there are people out there that are fighting tooth and nail to get approved.

I started getting things done around my house a few days ago but ended up getting sick so I needed to take a break and not push myself to exhaustion. Now the day before surgery I was scrambling around trying to throw everything together. Usually the night before surgery no one sleeps because their mind just can not ease. 

Well here it is 2:18 AM and I have to report to the hospital by 5am. No sleep! Its OK my excitement and energy are through the roof. I am just taking my time, thinking through everything, making sure my husband knows what to do, and making sure my son has everything he needs before mommy leaves. I can not wait to get the weight I have been carrying over 5 years now off of me! I know it will take time but I am so ready for the challenge. Well right now I say that but ask me again after I awake from surgery LOL . 

So off to the hospital I go. Ready for a very important "new" man in my life to change my life forever..my surgeon! It will be his orders, his advice, and his caring that will get me to the new person I want to be. Now new person does not mean that Ill lose who I am, but who I look like will be something different! 

May happiness always be looked at from the inside out!

So here's to a new life!
