Hi there! My Name is Erin - 31 Years old...finally taking control of my destiny and making THE hardest decision in my life to go ahead with surgery. It was this choice or MUCH harder choices down the road...all of the health risks that are ahead of me if I stay the way I am will be much more difficult to deal with. I have toyed with the idea of this surgery for a little while. I was always dead against it (personally) because of MY own stigmas with it. Easy way out...people judging etc. I've realized it is ME not everyone else. I am taking the initial steps now and have no surgery date yet. I have chosen (for now) to keep this to myself and my mom. That's it. I know of a few people that have gotten surgery and that is how they are referred to when mentioned." Oh Dawn" - "Dawn who?" - "You know the one who had lap band Surgery"..."OH that Dawn". Yeah....That is NOT gonna be me. And people will do that because guess what...that is what people do. I am conjuring up a fake surgery to tell people at work and trying to prepare myself mentally for what I hope is going to be one hell of a journey. I am ready to work hard, harder then I ever have and take control of my health and my life! I have been over weight my ENTIRE life - and I want to be thin - and damn it - I am gonna be. Wish me Luck - and Good Luck to all of you!
