I made the decision in early May to have VSG. I made the decision on June 2 I would go to Mexico to have it done. My surgery date is July 2, 2012. in Tj, Mexico. Sooo excited. Right now more excited than scared but I am sure I will start getting scared the closer it gets.

I think it will be good for me to "blog" about this journey so that I can stay focused. Vent if I need to and praise when I need to. This battle has only just begun and will never fully be over, but this is something I view as to taking a step to saving my life. Extending my life span and being a happier person.

I want so much to just feel good physically and emotionally. To feel better emotionally, I need to get better physically. To get better physically, I must lose weight. In turn, I will be healthier and happier.

I like this scripture: Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

God will be my strength through this journey. From the song by Casting Crowns, "Praise You in This Storm", Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord

The Maker of Heaven and Earth.

Amen and amen. That's all for now peeps.
