Made up my mind to finally do it

After years of denial and apathy I finally decided to have the surgery.

 

Like many of the pre-ops that post here, I am very skeptical but what have I got to lose? Insurance is covering the costs and at the very worst it is just another of my hundreds of failed diets.

 

My initial visit with the surgeon was this morning and I guess we won't even be setting a date until January 6th next year.

 

I guess until then I will keep reading up on everyone else's progress; dream of the day when I can put on my socks and tie my shoes in less than 10 minutes and not be out of breath when done; practice drinking flat beer and actually use the gym membership that I've paid $30 a month for over 2 years and have never been inside.
