So as of now i have scheduled my surgery for May 23, 2012. I am having all my pre-surgery clearences being done next month and also hoping the gastro can accomidate me with the endoscopy that month as well. So far, i have the letter from my PCP and tomorrow i will have my psychologist get working on his letter and then a few dr appointments and i should be all set! Going to attend 2 meetings this month. I am quite excited because it has taken me many years to get the "balls" to finally due this. Everytime i put on a shirt that is tight or get depressed when i see a shirt online i want and it doesnt come in my size i do get bummed but they i think hopefully by end of summer my tight clothes will be loose and it will be like having a brand new wardrobe! because there is no way im buying new clothes until i have a really nice chunk of weigh off, or it comes to the point where it looks like im about to drown in my own clothes then ill consider it. Im not going to lie i am going to miss the **** out of food, in the sense of EXCESSIVE amounts. Those days are soon over with and it will be a bittersweet ending, but in the end food will always be dear to me BUT i will no longer LIVE TO EAT, i will EAT TO LIVE!!! I do plan on starting a Blog, not that anyone cares and i will keep extremely detailed logs of everything pre/post surgery. My goal is to be as brutaly honest and incredibly as detailed as one could imagine so someone like me who kicked around the idea for MANY years might be put more at ease and kind of live the experiance through my self ( yes i know experiances vary by person). Once i get it started i will post a link and all who are interested may view it! Goodluck banders, i look forward to joining you proving there are no hiccups in the process! Have a good day!
