Had my 3 Months Post Op Check Up yesterday. My surgeon was very happy with my success. I see him in 3 months from now and he wants me at 250. That would be an amazing accomplishment for me... espcially seeing that I started this journey at 375. This week I got below the 300 mark. Amazing!!! I'm working out 6 days a week. Cardio and Weight lifting. Feeling better everyday. 2013 will be my year. Gotta go get it!!!!!

I'm out in Montego Bay, Jamaica on a much needed vacation and all I can think about is how much better this trip would be if I was post sleeve. Even though this place is absolutely beautiful, it makes me realize even more than true happiness comes from within, and not your environment. Exactly 4 weeks from tomorrow, I am getting sleeved. Countdown!!!! Peace and Blessings everyone.

Had to move my Surgery date back 9 days to Sept 27th due to a work conference, but eh... Surgery is exactly 5 weeks from today. I'm excited. I need this....

It's Official. My surgery date is September 18th. A new journey is ahead and the countdown has begun.

So today I rec'd a call from Pacific Bariatric in San Diego who's going to conduct my surgery. They actually gave me a surgery date of 8/21!!!! I could not believe it. I actually asked them for a surgery date in mid september due to vacations and work events out of state. I can't believe it. It's coming quick. I should have my actual surgery date within the next week or so.

Heading out to have my surgery consultation with Pacific Bariatric Surgical Medical Group down in San Diego. Another huge step taken in my long "Kaiser" process of getting sleeved. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's shining bright!!! I am pumped! Today is a good day!
