Getting a little nervous......

After 1 1/2 years of the VA extra requirements and testing, receiving a surgery date December 28, 2010, and waiting all this time, next week is the date I've been waiting for.... I am a little nervous but it's to be expected because, after all, this is surgery, but I am in no way questioning having WLS or my type of surgery. This is something that I need and the avenue that God has given me to beat the "obesity" demon and for this, I am so thankful. I  know I will become more nervous as I get closer to the actual day but it will be ok....

I just needed to say all that out loud to folks that understand the struggle.....I can say it all I want at home but my teens and husband don't really care and I don't give a rats ass that they don't. This is for me and me alone. And i am ok with that!

That's right.  Its by you, for you, about you.  Its a big step and you will never be the same.  Those who've been there may get it but many who've been there still don't get it. 

Build a strong support system any and every way you can.  Be creative it if you can't find exactly what you need.  As much as family may love you, this trek is yours.  Best wishes.

Congrats, to be nerous is expected but you will be fine.  I see we will have the same surgery.  If  you would like to talk sometimes let me know.
