March 2Nd Is My New Start!

[Andyourewelcome 0]

I am so excited to say I'm getting banded on March 2nd by Dr. Marsden of True Results Richardson.

I'm keeping this mostly to myself. I want to surprise people as I slowly become the beautiful person on the outside as I am on the inside.

I've been an avid reader of this site as I've convinced myself this is for me.

Unfortunately, my company won't cover the surgery until I work there for 5 years. So, I'm paying half since they'll cover the hernia operation. I know it will be the best money I've ever spent.

I am also having my "golden" birthday in the 28th so I'm considering this the gift to myself.

Thanks to all of you guys. You've helped get me started on the journey. I hope you'll continue with me on my journey.

Best of luck to you. I do not have my surgery date (yet) but am working on my pre op schedules.

I understand what kind of journey this is. You are like me. I have only let 2 people know what I am

doing here at work. I am pretty much ashamed of what I look like, but am doing something about it. Just

like you. Hang in there. I will watching and reading your posts to see how your journey is going.

Good luck to you both. I couldn't be happier. It's so nice to have this support system. Now that everything is in place it's starting to hit me. This. Is. Happening.

Congrats and good luck! Just make sure you have a support system of close people around you that DO know about the surgery. Its important to have that backing. Best decision I've made!
