Finally. After many months, I started the initial process in February, today is surgery day. I'm scheduled for 11:30 but may be taken earlier. My best friend is also having it today, she's in surgery right now actually.
I started at 226 and did South Beach pre op as per my surgeons instructions. I'm down to 204 as of this morning. I know it's not going to be an easy road ahead but I'm willing to do this for my health and to be a more active mom.
Accepting any positive energy!
