Best wishes to you! My surgery is the following day, 10/2. I am really excited! Perhaps tomorrow will be a nervous one for me. One thing is for sure, there are a lot of wise, supportive mentors on this site and I intend to draw upon their experiences and support. Try to focus on your courageousness to take this step forward. I am excited for us!
Today is my one year Surgiversary!!!!! Amazing how fast this year has flown by! I cannot really even begin to realize YET just how amazing this journey has been and continues to be! I know I am using a lot of exclamation points but that's the way I feel today. Amazed! Humbled! Joyous!!! Somewhat Scared!!! And most of all thankful! Thankful, for the amazingly simple approach I had with the surgery. How within one month, I was approved, scheduled and received my VSG with an amazing doctor, Dr. Mark Gibbs. From day one started losing quickly and easily.
That doesn't mean I haven't had some minor bumps along the road but again, they are so minor, they don't really figure in. Overall, I've lost 101 lbs - gone from a size 20 to a size 8 - lost my C-Pap machine, no blood pressure medicine and feel great!!!!
The "somewhat scared" part - just making sure that I can maintain and continue this journey. It is very easy to "snack" now because sliders are so good! lol BUT, I intend to "stay the course", "fight the good fight" and "win the race!"
Hopefully, this encourages someone who is contemplating, has had and is experiencing problems, or who is discouraged. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future!" Thanks, God, for my future!!

October 1 is my day. I need support right now because I'm having negative thoughts. I need this to live a better life. I have been in the 250 pound range for 3 years, but been battling for 10 years. I have never shared my unhappiness about my weight in public like this. I am only 5'4". High cholesterol , hypertension, and two points from being diabetic!!!! So what is my deals with my fears now? I am excited but so nervous. So many mix emotions. SO grateful for this site because I feel like a have an extended family. Any St. Louis October 1 sleeve with Dr. Morales?
