Can't Believe It's That Time

Hello to all my bariatric buddies. I just can't believe it's that time already...SURGERY TIME! Two more days! From the time I gave sleeve surgery a thought, to getting my surgery date, it only took four months. I started second guessing myself, asking, did I really think this through, do I really need the surgery, did I do everything I could do to lose the weight before making this decision, am I ready to give up the pleasures that junk food and those delicious sweets bring me...YES, YES, YES AND HELL YES!!!! I have been fighting a losing battle with weight for over 20 years. My health has paid for that losing battle. I made this decision for me and for nobody else. Yes, I love my family and want to be here for a long time for them, but the decision to have this life changing surgery was for me. I pray everything goes as planned and I can say I am a success story and if that happens it goes without saying I will be here for the family I love so much in the way I should be.

I am an author and have these great novels I want to present to the world, I have songs I have written and want a great talent to sing my songs, but with all the added weight I don't have the energy to do the foot work it will take for that to happen and I have been so embarrassed to speak in a public setting because of the weight. I pray all that will change and I will get this second chance at life. A life filled with adventures and not being afraid to show myself and my talents to the world. Good luck to you all on your journey to a healthier life.
