In the Begining 1-21-13

Today starts the process in my new journey. Many discussions with my husband has lead up to this point and now it's time to either get the ball rolling or lay it to rest. Well tonight I started the process and went to a seminar about gastric surgery. My first appointment to see the doctor is on January 29th and I am getting excited and nervous all at the same time. My goal is to have my blood drawn that same day and try to get the other appointments rolling from there also. I know that this is not a fast process and it will take time, but based on the time frame he gave us, I am going to estimate surgery to be around July!!! Postive's about that month would be that it will be hot during that time and well, I would rather stay indoors anyway so what a better way to recover then in my air conditioned home.

 

I have never blogged before, but looking forward to writing about my experiences through this process. Praying that all goes well while each step leads me closer to a healthier me!!

Congratulations on deciding to move forward instead of forgetting!! I waited 6 long weeks!!! I was ready and anxious and it couldn't get here fast enough! The decision to seek help is the first step in an awesome journey forward! Wishing you the best of luck on your journey, I know I'm extremely better for having done it myself!
