WOW -- where do I begin!! -- at the BEGINNING (297 lbs.) -- goal weight for NOW (140 lbs.)

 

blogentry-42623-13814461199235.jpg

 

I went to a Weight Loss Seminar last week and am ready after battling with my weight for almost 20 years!

 

I was NOT a fan of the traditional gastric bypass, but God had plans for me! My main reason was malabsorbtion among other factors.

 

When I went to the seminar after talking with my health psychologist who mentioned there was the "Gastric Sleeve" a less invasive approach to the surgery, God seemed to be putting me in a place I needed to be -- in HIS time NOT mine!

 

Now, my adventure begins! It is scary, the limitations, etc. but something kept playing in my mind after the Seminar -- Dr. Nagle mentioned this is not the EASY way out, actually just the opposite -- it is a way to FORCE you to keep in check along with exercise and a healthy lifestyle, because if you do not follow your surgeon's instructions, you will be right back where you started from and Lord knows I do not want to have a surgery and go through all that it entails for nothing!

 

I am researching and getting support from a GREAT support group prior to beginning my journey to wellness --- and could use all the prayers this community can give!

 

Thank you!

Hi nancer, I am also beginning my journey. I have fini. shed all my tests and will hopefully have surgery on 12/19/12, which can't come soon enough for me. You will find a great support system here. Feel free to ask questions, and although everyone is different I'm sure you can find answers to all of them. Good luck on your journey and I wish you a speedy recovery.
