Aside from setting my wedding date, this was probably the most exciting date I have ever set in my life! My surgery date is June 15th and I am thrilled. For the last 10 years I have put on an average of ten pounds a year. I feel like garbage and I am exhausted all the time.

I am a 6th grade teacher and so I scheduled my surgery for the first Monday we are out of school. My husband is very supportive, my mother is terrified and 99% of my friends are very supporttive. I have one friend who is less than thrilled I am choosing to have this surgery. This is also my friend who I have yo-yo dieted with since we were 13. She has struggled with her weight all of her life as well. Either way I am excited to start this journey and share my experiences with all of you! Looking forward to learning lots and lots!

Awesome feeling to set the date. Congrats!
