I have been "big boned" all my life. Isn't that nice....that's always what my mom told me. Sad part is that I believed that was the problem for the longest time. I now realize it wasn't the bones that were big, it was me. It was sort of a shock to my system. I have always been a sports lover and love to participate but I haven't been able to do so for a long time. It kills me that my kids are having fun and I don't feel like I should join in cause I don't want to embarass them.
I started researching surgery a year ago. I went to my first appointment, did the sleep test, met with the nutritionist and psych and then got really scared. What if I screw it up (as I feel I always screw things up). So I stepped away from it and decided I could do it myself. Guess what....I can't. So, a year later I went back and I was surprised to learn that I had lost some weight and that I really could use the tools they were giving me.
I got my date yesterday and am very excited, scared, nervous etc. My husband won't be able to be there for the surgery but I think I can handle it.
