I choose to live

"I choose to live."

That was the title of one of the first threads I posted back in October 2009. It was a pivotal moment when I knew that lap-band surgery was the right decision for me. I've achieved a lot of success in my life, but I've never been able to win the war with my weight.

The journey toward the surgery has been long. Things haven't always gone the way I had expected, I'd hoped to have had the surgery by December. But I've learned a lot about myself and my health issues have been addressed.

Now, it's finally going to happen, Wednesday, March 10th.

I view this opportunity as a chance to help me get healthy, live longer and enjoy life more fully.

I'm looking forward to having a new gun in my arsenal. This time I am going to win the war and live!

There are quite a few people here whose positive energy is a boost to me and two of you are having surgery on March 10th. As the results become evident, the energy will grow!

Congrats and I hope your recovery is as painless and speedy as mine was!

Good luck and congratulations on your new/revised life. I think positivity peppered with reality is always a good way to go. Your honestly with yourself is inspiring and I hope it starts a trend.

Actually let's toast to that with a hearty low cal, low carb, high Protein shake!

Congrats! My surgery is in nine days, and I am so looking forward to getting my life back. I have a two-year-old, and it's very discouraging to have him prefer Daddy or Granny because Mommy just can't do certain things. And I want to be around to see him grow up!
