Hi all! My name is Angie and I'm from Wataga, IL.
I have my surgery scheduled for Oct 6 two days after my 39 birthday! Best birthday present ever!
I started this journey several years ago and got scared off then after seeing my friend go thru it and have such a success I decided it was time! I called the same day as the inital information seminar, got approval within a week and have attended my support group meetings, done my psych eval (dh was surprised I passed ).
Now I'm on day 2 of my pre-op diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be...I guess cause I know the payoff is so well worth it!
I have told my son who will be 13 in January, friends and family, did not tell my boss as he is not the nicest person.
I want to be healthier for myself but also my son and husband. I don't want our son to make the same mistakes we have. So I figure I have some years left before he leaves the nest to enforce good habits!
