Moving So Fast

OK so first blog ever hope you all enjoy. I have been on this journey since April and my insurance just approved me yesterday WOOT!!! Now I have my endoscopy and things tomorrow. Everything seems to be moving so fast and I am getting anxious and nervous but thanks to my hubby and friends from work and my sleeve buddy also a co worker who have supported me along with friends I know I will be ok. I am ready to start this new journey in my life and ready to do the things I have always wanted. Socially I am ok and really dont care what others think outside of my circle. This is something I want to do for my children and I know there will be ups and downs and lots of emotions. I know magic isnt going to happen overnight but I know with hard work and dedication I will be able to achieve my goal weight and keep it there. I just want to document my journey through photos so I can see the improvement. I have read tons and tons of material and know that im not gonna drop 100 lbs in 3 weeks or something crazy like that. I plan on setting realistic goals for myself and helping and achieving them all. Thank you all for reading this.

    Good luck! The upper endoscopy isn't all that bad. I had mine last week. I was supposed to call the dr's office Friday (and I did) to get results, but they haven't returned my call. I refuse to keep playing the phone-tag game, so I'm assuming if there was something they needed to address (which I doubt there is) they would have called me to come back for further tests or medication. My next tests (x-ray, ekg, blood work) isn't until 9/24...I won't know my surgery date until I meet with the nurse on 9/26.

    Right now, I think the hardest part is the time waiting in between these tests to just get to the surgery date. I know the post-surgery work for the weight loss will be hard work, but I also know that the life-long struggle working to lose weight has been hard work as well and if I had this tool during that struggle, I probably wouldn't be here today going through this now. I'm just thankful we have this option when I need it!

    Good luck to you!
