This Is All New For Me

By girlfriday

I made the decision in early May to have VSG. I made the decision on June 2 I would go to Mexico to have it done. My surgery date is July 2, 2012. in Tj, Mexico. Sooo excited. Right now more excited than scared but I am sure I will start getting scared the closer it gets.

 

I think it will be good for me to "blog" about this journey so that I can stay focused. Vent if I need to and praise when I need to. This battle has only just begun and will never fully be over, but this is something I view as to taking a step to saving my life. Extending my life span and being a happier person.

 

I want so much to just feel good physically and emotionally. To feel better emotionally, I need to get better physically. To get better physically, I must lose weight. In turn, I will be healthier and happier.

 

I like this scripture: Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

God will be my strength through this journey. From the song by Casting Crowns, "Praise You in This Storm", Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord

The Maker of Heaven and Earth.

 

Amen and amen. That's all for now peeps.

    Thats great, Im in a very similiar boat. I decided to do this end of May and now Im scheduled for August 17th in Puerto Vallarta.I told my mom and she still makes comments at me that I shoudnt be doing it as im not a 100 lbs overweight(im 70 overweight). She asked me how much it cost and said I was wasting my money.

    Ive decided not to tell anyone else except my husband ofcourse. Its going to be hard as my husbands sons are accompanying us on the trip but are staying at a different resort than me and we're telling them im on a real estate course out of town until the 6th day. Im hoping they dont catch on, were taking them as its the one sons grad present,I just decided to do this last month and thought why not combine a holiday with the surgery.

    My husband is very supportive(i was scared to tell him at first).
