Yesterday I was able to go to my first surgical appointment, I am a month and a half into the 4 month process and so far I have lost 11 pounds. I have been doing physical therapy twice a week and behavior therapy once a week. My nutrition appointments are three times per month, I was accepted into the UW program and I found out that the surgical procedure will be the gastric bypass. The Molina process is usually 6 months but I'm getting "fast tracked" because of personal motivation. The point I'm making is when it comes to your individual plan it is just that your individual plan, I track everything that goes into my mouth and every step I take. What ever myself and my team plan and decide I do, I go above and beyond, when I give my best I can not fail.

All of us are here for a reason and all of our stories that got us here are different, we all deserve to be healthy and happy. Our efforts will be measured with the pounds we lose, our bodies will not lie and our efforts will pay off. We can't afford to to fail, and motivation can be hard to keep going and sometimes we have to cheer each other on, we need to keep judgment silent.

I found out that the surgical procedure will be the gastric bypass.

Does this mean that you were not part of the decision-making process?

We discussed the pros and cons of the 2 procedures that are offered, together with my team it was decided that the gastric bypass procedure was the best for my situation. I went in to this with out a preconceived idea as to what procedure I would have. I decided to take advice from the professionals that have both the education and experience to help guild me in the right decision.

Thank you for being so uplifting!!
