45 Days and counting....

May 30, 2010

What will I do with all the time I've spent wondering what I'm going to eat. How will I cope with the bordem, the stress, the companionship relationship that I have with food? Will I miss it? Will I mourn the food as I've read so mny people do? I don't know what's in store for me but I welcome the challenge!

Counting Down....

May 17, 2010

It is exactly 60 days until I'm sleeved! I'm no longer nervous. It's like a reality to me now. I'm actually thinking into the future. I celebrated my birthday this weekend on South Beach with my sisters and my girlfriend. The pictures we took would have normally made me shed a few tears but I no longer have that hopeless feeling. It's like a prison senence that is almost over. I am prepared for what's to come. I am ready for my new life...

Set a date!

May 02, 2010

Ok..I've set a date for July 17th....(sigh) for the Gastric Sleeve in Mexico with Dr. Alberto Aceves.
I'm still in total disbelief. I can't believe that I'm really doing this. This is such a desperate move and if I felt like I had any other choice I would not do this. This move is beyond vanity. This is a desperate attempt to get back my health and my life.
Only a fellow WLS patient can really relate.
This is my true motivation. To be able to walk and work without swollen feet and breaking out into an unhealthy sweat.
So I continue onto my journey...head held high looking straight ahead and no regrets...

Application was accepted...

Apr 29, 2010

I put in my application with Dr. Aceves and now am searching flights for San Diego from Ft. Lauderdale. He has dates available after July 14. Is this really happening? Am I really going all the way out of the country to Mexico to have Gastric Surgery? This will probably be the bravest thing I've ever done.  I feel though that it's something that I have to do for myself.
