And so it begins.....

Mar 29, 2010

I became a member here a couple of weeks ago, but this is my first blog.  I have read so many books, articles, blogs, forums, etc. that my head is swimming!  I've always been one of those "research" people that wants to know EVERYTHING there is to know about something I'm interested in.  Having WLS of any kind is such a big step, I just want to make sure I am armed with all the knowledge I can get, because knowledge is power.  Reading as much as I have can be a little overwhelming. You have your posts from people that have had tremendous success.  You have posts from people who have had a lot of complications.
There are a couple from people who say they wish they'd never had the surgery. And I read one about a woman who died.  See what I mean?  Overwhelming!!!

I'm taking it all in, weighing the good and the bad.  Ultimately, I have to make the best decision for me.  I know that I don't want to live like this anymore.  I used to be able to lose weight so easily, but I always put it back on effortlessly.  Over the past year or so, I can't seem to lose anything, and that is worrisome, because I have to lose 20 lbs before surgery.  I have to think positively!  I can do this!!!
