Well after 5 months and a weight loss of 30 lbsI am having the gastric bypass done this coming Tuesday. I wish I could have the sleeve bu medicare does not pay for it! This was a long wait but it is finally here. I am a bit ...or a lot scared. I have some support from good friends and my family is really supporting me. I have done it all the correct way. I have done the shakes , gone to the different doctors and have been doing a lot of swimming. I had my heart checked out as well as my lungs and all is good. I have had the flu shot as well as the shingles shot. I have taken every pill the surgeon wants me to take. How come i still question it? I think it is because I really wanted the sleeve. I have done so much research that I could tell the doctors about WLS. I am also concerned with the sagging skin. I have people already making fun. Shoot all my life people have been screwing with me concerning one thing or another. I will take this one day at a time. Pray! Climb the Sandias and go snow shoeing once again! I will live the rest of my life as a smaller person. I will create a REAL bucket list. I will live a longer life than my siblings. I am the only one left and I will make the best of what life has to offer. If I have to do it by myself without my friends or family then be it! I will "LIVE" life to the fullest until I die. I will enjoy walks and bike rides. I will enjoy good healthy foods. I will laugh with gusto and love the same. I will hold my family in my heart and do this in memory of them. I will live the life they did not have. I will not be my self inflected victim of weight.
