Hi Everyone!I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I have been a member of this site since 2009. whoever thought of this is a genius. I finally get to express my feelings and say to the world that my journey has just begun. I have prayed to our dear lord Jesus asking him is it my turn yet? Yes, he finally told me."Yes Sheryl it's your turn" I was so happy when I received the news from my insurance company that I was approved. It is time to make a change. I have been pretty big all my life. and darn it I am sick of it.. I can't take this extra weight on me any longer. All things are possible.. right!! At least that is what people keep telling me.. It could happen and it will. " Well finally its going to happen. I go back to the Doctor's office April 23rd this Tuesday 2013. Someone once told me that life holds no promises. You must search and work for your own dreams. Well, I am taking chances and making my own choices. I have been given an opportunity to become the one person I have always wanted to become. (Me) finally I am going to step out of this fat person and find my way to freedom. life is a precious gift and I'm going to make it possible .

Good luck

May 20. Tomorrow at 9:30am very excited.

Hang in there everything will be okay.

Hang in there and turn out okay.

Today is April 30th the last day of month.. May 1st will be here tomorrow. I am looking forward to May 9th my first nutritional class. I am so excited to finally face my journey.

In the mean time good luck to all my friends, follow directions, listen to your nurses, and exercise if you can. God Bless you all. Signing off Sheryl

I LOVE IT!! KEEP RUNNING PAST THEIR HOUSE. HAHAHA

Hi I have read everyone's posts am I have finally decided that I will tell my four children and let them know what is going on with me but I also would love to have them understand that this is our privacy and our privacy only I'm nobody else's.

After reading everyone's comments I understand the pros and cons about telling your children or not telling your children. I do agree with telling your children that way you are not hiding your shame but on the other hand I do agree with not saying anything to a certain point. I think I have made up my mind by reading everyone's decisions that I have decided to tell my children and let them know what exactly is going on with their mother. I just don't think it's anyone else's business but our family. Thank you very much for all of your concerns and helping me decide what to do in this situation thank you.

I am with you I'm going through the surgery I have four kids I will not tell my kids I have told my husband my twin sister and then as the only two people that I have told. Maybe I'm selfish but I feel like it's nobody else's business but mine and if I do tell someone you're right it could get it could slip out and somebody else will know and that's not their business.

I didn't call at all I received a letter. The first letter I was turned down. My doctor turned it back in and I was turned down again. By the third letter I was also turned down and finally went to the border of review and had to write a letter and then I was finally approved.

I forgot to mention that I am getting the sleeve Gastrectomy.

I was so excited to go see the dr today and finally get my date. It's all set for May 20. 7:30 am My physical is May 13, 2013. At 4 o'clock. My Preoperative bariatric class is May 9, 3:30 - 5:30 It's finally all coming together. I will keep you all posted thank you for Following me with my journey. Sherylkay
