Well, it's finally happening. Yesterday I got the phone call telling me I am scheduled for surgery on September 25th. Can't quite believe it yet.
My story is no different from most members' on this site. I have been overweight since my early teens and have been struggling to lose weight all my life. Looking back, I have spent a fortune on various programs, books, pills, you name it, I've tried it. I've managed to lose some only to gain it back and more. I am so angry that I have allowed my weight to take up so much of my time and energy over the years. I am hoping the sleeve will bring an end to that. I am of course aware that it will take time to adjust but judging by what I've been reading here, there are very few regrets.
I have the great fortune of being married to a wonderful man and I have a beautiful daughter who will be fifteen soon. One of my biggest regrets is that my weight prevents me from doing all the things I want to together with them, my body just doesn't cope and I am so looking forward to not being a spoil sport when they want to do something that is a little strenuous or involves any kind of physical exertion!
So, I am turning a new leaf, I am a little scared but mostly excited that this wonderful procedure exists. I'll be starting my blog shortly and keep you all posted on my progress.
