Is any one ever really ready for what the road ahead brings? We can think and tell ourselves we are, but are we?

Many questions have gone through my mind on this journey and I would venture that a lot of those same questions and thoughts have been shared at one point or another.

For me personally, I have been contemplating this surgery since it was suggested by my doctor. Sure, she has always said you are overweight and there are risks and you need to diet etc....

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Then I have had high cholesterol, then diagnosed recently with diabetes, next would probably have been a heart attack. I know this is about as perfect timing as it gets to get this done!

I would foolish to not be scared for the surgery, and I would be more foolish for not making the most of this tool and becoming a healthy individual for the first time in my life.

I am excited about the possibilities of setting up camp site with my family and not sweating so much that I have to take a cold shower, I am excited about cuddeling with my wife again with out the need of a c-pap in the way, I am excited about riding my bike again and making it up the entire hill. I am excited again to what the future brings!

So to answer my first question, I am as ready as I can be- I have lost 20 pds on liquid diet and I have the Love and support of my family and friends. I look forward to this journey and sharing it with everyone.
