Where I am right now

Oct 30, 2011

 So I've made up my mind that I'm going to have VSG.

I've got the spouse and parentals on board. I don't plan on telling anyone else. I know want to hear any negative comments about bariatric surgery. I'm a big girl, I've done my research and I know what the risks are. If I had a tumor, even a benign one, no one would fault me for having it surgically removed. Heck, if I wanted to get a nose job or a boob job no one would batt an eyelash but if you even mention that you are going to have bariatric surgery, well you are taking the easy way out. "You just need to eat less and move more!"  Spoken like someone who has never had a weight problem. Throw an extra 100lbs on any of the negative nellies and see how easy they find it to eat less and move more!

Surgery is going to help me eat less, be an assist to help me fight my food addiction. I've fallen off the wagon enough that it's time I got a seat belt. That's all this surgery is, a seat belt.

And I don't think its going to be easy. No I know it is going to be bloody hard. I will be physically incapable of eating my feelings any longer. I know it's going to be a rough row to hoe but I have some people in my life that I want to live to see grow up. I can't do it alone. I need medical treatment and I'm going to look after myself, the way I should have been doing all this time.
