June 12th - lap band:)

Hey everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read this, My surgery is setup for this coming Monday at 8 am.. I'm nervous as heck.. I've come to terms during this time learning about my relationship with food, and I've decided that I need to mourn the loss of that "friend" who has been there for me through thick and thicker! I'm terrified of how my body will change.. Even though I know it's for the better and everyone in there before and after pics look absolutely amazing!! I have a 20 month old daughter, a wonderful husband.. I need to be here for them.. I feel as if during these important times, my baby girl has missed out on alot because mommy is just too fat.. Mommy hurts like hell during the day and can't do stuff like other mommies can ... I'm hoping to change it! bah.. I don't really know what I'm trying to say.. I'm elated that I can finally step away from this body.. But, on the other hand, I'm scared of what the future holds.. I hope this made atleast a little bit of sense..! Sorry if it sounded confusing.. !

Hi Kat, That's what my dad called me. I'm going in for open RNY on June 12th in Wichita Falls, Texas. I wish you all the luck and will keep you in my prayers. I am sure you will be just fine. Focus on the Positive. Kathleen Schwedler
