I started this Journey August 20 2011. I never thought I would get to this date. October 24th will be the first day of my new life, and Im so excited. After the 6 month wait, after the insurance denials, and appeal, and even after the outstanding copay (2k), I am getting this done!! Whooooo Im so excited. No fear or anxiety. Im just ready. I dont think anyone in my family can understand what Im feeling, So this is why Im sharing it with you guys that are reading tonight.

Im realistic... I know there will be pain, gas, nausea... and Im ready for that too, because once that has passed, I can really enjoy healthy eating practices that will turn into weight loss, and overall health for me. I can run around with my 4 year old without getting winded, I can enjoy looking and feeling sexy for me (and my husband). Im Ready!! All faith- No fear

You will do great, it's a wonderful journey!

That's my step-mama's birthday. :} I'll be thinking of you!! So exciting!!

WOOO!!! congrats! dosent it feel like such a huge weight being lifted off you shoulders when you get that date to schedule (no pun intended).

do you find your lack of fear/anxiety weird? My family was so freaked out at how calm I was while i was explaining/filling out my advanced directives.

you seem very prepared, congrats on that, and on everything you've accomplished thus far, and everything you will accomplish. Please keep us in the loop on how it goes

Good for you LM. You will be great!

Best wishes to u!!! Exercising my faith for u!! U got this!
