Ready or not... here I come!

The time has come! I check into the surgical center at 8:00 in the morning to be banded. Am I nervous? Well, I didn't think so, but I just realized I've chewed my nails to nubs today, so maybe a little, lol. A week ago I was a complete basket case. Now, I'm just ready to do it. I'm ready to get on with my life as a healthy person!

 

I thought I would have more to say here... and there would be some great epiphany that I would be able to share, but there's just not. I've lived most of my adult life as an overweight person. I'm ready to start unwrapping the layers from myself & find out who I can be without the burden of this extra baggage I've carried for so long.

 

So, here we go... see ya'll on the flip side!

Good luck! I am sure it went well. Welcome to your new life. I just went to my cardiologist and he hasn't seen me since 50 lbs. ago and couldn't believe it was me and I am still over 2.

It takes more than a day to lose what took years to put on. It isn't a race to see who wins in the end. You are the only winner in your own race.

Happy holidays.
