My Journey Starts

I am new.. to this, I am just feeling the waters.. the stage I am at is in the begining, I have met with the surgeon, had the work up test. stress, test blood test upper GI, eco cardio gram. next I meet with nutritionis and go for a phyc eval.. that is the 16th of April.. I am not in a hurry. well yes some times, but this weight did not come on over night.. so.. I need to take baby steps in the processe.. It's kind of waiting to have a baby.. you find out your expecting, then you go through the excitment, then you gear your self up for the day and the day happens and then you have this beautiful gift.. I think this surgery us going to be like having a baby.. and it is so funny I am saying this for the past two weeks I have had two dreams of being preg. now I am 47, tubes tied. and no way I am . I have not missed a period so I am not.. better not be.. hahah but I think those dreams ment something.. something new, a new begining.. a new start and that is what this surgery is..
