I have been researching WLS for a while, but seriously for about 2 years. When two of my close friends had it done, I followed them through the process and was with one of them during the whole surgery day. As they were going through their process I thought about it doing it as well, but wanted to give it one last try for myself. Prior to this I thought that having WLS was the easy way out, a giving up of sorts. That is when I started doing WW on my own and lost 65 pounds which I have since gained back and then some.
I have seen my friends grow so much, they have become so active and their confidence is at an all time high. I have learned through them that WLS is not an easy way out, they have worked their butts off to get where they are today!
My breaking point was over Memorial Day weekend 2006. I was visiting a friend in NY. If you have ever been there you know you can do a lot of walking and going up and down tons of stairs to the subways. It was super hot that weekend too. We were walking everywhere. I could barely keep up and was so tired. No matter what shoes I wore, my feet hurt. My back, shoulders and neck hurt. I was miserable. I was sweating like crazy. So, as I was looking at knock-off purses in Chinatown it hit me. I was ready. I think that is how it happens; you just know when it is the right time for you. Now is my time.
I am at the very 1st steps of starting the WLS process. I have my nurse consult on 8/15. I can't wait. I want the day to be here, but know that this process can take time. I know it will be worth the wait.
