So I am 37 yrs old, I have had some monumental life decisions in my time. I have two kids, which means at one point I had to determine if I was ready to be a mom. I went back to college to finish my Bachelor's degree, then I had to choose to take that time away from my family and make school a priority. However, I can honestly say that making this decision to have the VSG has been one of the rockiest emotion wise of most of them (maybe not my first child).

Deciding that it was time to be healthy again wasn't the hard part. Choosing what to have done or even which Doctor, shockingly wasn't hard. Figuring out how to pay for it was fairly easy as well. What has been hard is that everyday since I booked the surgery and bought the plane tickets, there has been some test of me. At first I realized it was just my perceptions of what matters, but the closer I get to it the more the little problems have started to take their toll on me.

Now I am just determined that not only will I get this surgery but the little problems do not own me and they will be there regardless either way. I will deal with them as I need and forge ahead to the new me!!
