In October of 2012 I was at a doctors visit and after different medications and different diets I finally came out and asked my doctor if he thought that I would be a good candidate for weight loss surgery. He then told me that a local hospital was having a seminar just a week later and that he would write me a referral to go. So I went. There I found out so much about the three different kinds of surgery and from there I made up my mind that I was going to have this done. I made my appointment with Dr Suhdakaran and only a month later there I was setting in his office. At that point he asked me to stop smoking start a diet and start exercising. I will admit that the easiest thing for me to do was to stop smoking. The diet and exercise came with a few ups and downs. But I did it. I did this for over five months....then it came down to the wire when they submitted all of my paper work to my insurance and they gave me a date for surgery. This is when everything really sank in. I then went in to see the doctor for the last time before surgery. This is when he put me on a liquid diet and told me I needed to lose a little more weight before my surgery date, this was on 4/9/13...I started my liquid diet right away...my weight went from 289 to 268 quick. I was super excited about that. Then the date of surgery came with just the snap of a finger. I went in that morning nervous as anyone could ever be, I weighed in a 269 at the hospital that morning. I am now 258. I can not wait for this journey to continue.
