Well, this is it.  I fianlly went all the way, and I have a surgery date.  My surgery date is Feb 23, 2011.  I'm happy, scared, got butterfly, dreading pain and looking towards the future.  Mostly, I am looking forward to a new me.  A new life full of energy and less food.  Food has not been my friend all these years, so I'm glad I'm going to be relying on that friend.  I must do a 2 week liver reduction diet before surgery, full of liquids and protein shakes, starting on Feb 9th.  Any suggestions??

Here I am again in the same phase.  I want to make the change more than ever, but am so afraid.  I have more motivation this time because my chronic conditions are not going away and I have a little child to live for. 
I am closer than, I have ever been.  I have went to all the required appts and turned in all the documents.  I have my first appt with the surgeon on Jan 6th and I have decided to do the full bypass. 
Yes.....I know that is a lot of change, but I have to do it...I just have to do it. 
If I don't, I will never be healthy and my diabetes and bp will control me and my son wont have the healthy energetic mother he need.  I have to do it this time.

Still havent had the surgery.  I have put it off, moved and at times given up.  Here I am trying again and I really want to  go thru with it.  I'm afraid of the permenate procedure and being iron defecient.
