3 months til surgery

At my orientation the woman who spoke to us about her journey said something that makes me realize that I couldn't have made a better choice for my health. She said..."I have spent so many years dying and it's now time for me to live".

Wow! After waiting forever to get referrals etc I went to orientation then to my 4 hour appt meeting everyone to having a surgery date in December~pending an EKG and some blood work and nutrition, dietician and psych appts, but this will all be done in 2 weeks and I'll be ready. OK, not so ready! This is scary and overwhelming and huge and life changing for me and family and friends. Their support means the world to me. It's taken most to come to terms with this decision but everyone is now on board. I have 30 lbs to lose before December which is a lot but I'm working HARD to get it together. 

I am here to support and to find support. Everyone's journey is different and I can learn so much from others who have gone through or are going through WLS. Gastric Bypass has been a word I refused to spea****il now. I'm having Gastric Bypass surgery. It's real. It's happening. Wow!
