I am not really sure how all of this blog stuff works but here is my story.

I have been overweight my whole life. Suffered through the teasing and loving comments of "you have a pretty face but". I have tried all diets and after so long of nothing working and it never really happening I finally started looking at Gastric Bypass however after going to all of the classes I never felt all that comfortable with it. Then when I heard about the sleeve it sounded like a better fit.

I have met with the psychologist and neutritionalist today and passed both(although I am not sure what you would say to not pass). I have to go to a sleep study but then hope to be that much closer to getting this done. I know it is not a fix all....but I just need that kickstart to help me take control back of my life.

I work as a 911 dispatcher and handle lots of stressful situations and consider myself a pretty patient person but I just want this to happen. I am ready to start living as a normal person. Not an obese person. I want to be able to go do something with my weight not popping up in my mind as a possible reason I cant do something. Example zip lining - weight restrictions .. helicopter is Alaska - weight restriction... Hiking in Yosemite.. weight restriction only because I would probably have a heart attack and my whole body would hurt. I want to do it all and not once think of my weight as a factor.

One day at a time and I am making progress more items checked off of the list of things to do.
