Vlogging the journey

Hi everyone,

I have my tentative surgery date for rny on 3/22/16. I am still waiting to hear back from insurance as to whether or not I have been approved, so that's why I still say "tentative." As the date gets closer, everything starts to feel more real and one thing that has really been helping me is watching vlogs on youtube from other people who have gone on the same journey. This website/forum as well as the vlogs have been inspiring, giving me hope/support, and definitely making me feel like I am not alone. I was thinking about starting my own vlog to document the journey. I figured, maybe it would help others who are considering making the same choice like it has helped me. Plus it may be nice to look back at the videos 12 months/18 months, etc from now to see how far I have come. I was wondering if anyone else here has made vlogs to document their journey as well? It may be neat to share the videos with each other and help support one another with them as well? I am a little hesitant right now to start vlogging until I get the final approval from my insurance, so I guess we will see...
