I'M GOING TO DO IT!!!

Oct 18, 2011

I can honestly say that a few years ago I was one of those people that looked down on WLS and thought it was the easy way out. I couldn't understand why people would take such a drastic step? Well.... now I am singing a different tune. I didn't know what it was like to be there! Now......... I find myself in those exact shoes--- i've gained many many pounds and feel terrible about it and feel terrible about myself. I'm so down and hate going anywhere because of the embarassment about how much weight i've put on. I've tried many diets and have let several gym memberships go down the drain. It's very sad. I just can't seem to GET WITH IT--Even with the health issues i've developed (hypertension and high cholesterol). I just can't stick with it!  Not only that, but I also have a lot of guilt about not being able to do fun/physically active things with my kids. I'm tired all the time and am extremely lazy. My poor hubby too... I've just completely let myself go. I could go on and on about how this extra weight has affected me...

WELL........ I've done hours and hours of reasearch and I'M GOING TO DO IT!! I'm so sick of living this way----I just need this tool (VSG) to get me on the right track. I've read so many stories about people who wished they had done it sooner...and I don't want that to be me. I am turning 30 this next year and will be turning over a new leaf as I enter life in my 30's :)...and I CANNOT WAIT! I have my informational session on 11/3 and hopefully things will be smooth sailing from there. Fingers crossed that insurance approves me!

Feel free to friend me if you're going through this journey as well! It would be wonderful to find someone who is in the early stages, just like me, to share our experiences with. :)
