Small Steps To Big Goal

[mizzle2105 4]

Hello everyone,

So I got a call from my doctor's office yesterday and they called to schedule my upper GI... I know this doesn't seem like much but for me that call put this in reality. I am really going to have surgery in the next 6-7 months. I am really going to achieve my goal of being healthier and happier. I know that to some people it was just a phone call but for me this is the start of my new life. I just had to share my excitement with everyone. Thanks for tolerating my ramblings. Lol!

I love seeing everyones progress, I have some progress pics in my gallery, I try and post pics because I know thats what I wanted to see when I was researching! lol

I am going to check them out but I can already tell from your before pic and your profile pic that you have lost a ton of weight!! That makes me even more excited. You look great!

Thanks, this was the best decision I ever made, I would do it all over again!

[mizzle2105 4]

In my many failed attempts at losing weight. I always swore off surgery. I felt like if I had surgery I was a failure. Now I realize that having surgery doesn't mean that I am a failure or that I am looking for a way out. It means that I am taking control of my life. I know there are only good things from here on out.

exactly, and surgery isnt easy, you still have to work at it and make smart food choices and change your lifestyle. The sleeve is a tool! I think you will do great!

[mizzle2105 4]

Thank you... I already know the exercise and eating right part. I just need that extra push and I think this surgery is just what I need

[Katnroyal 225]

Exactly! I am here if you ever need anything! Where are you located?

[mizzle2105 4]

Thank you! I need all the friends that I can get that understand what I am about to go through. I am located in Charlotte, NC. My family knows that I am having surgery and they are all very supportive. I told one of my best friends and she is supportive but she feels like I could still do it on my own. I haven't told my other best friend yet because she doesn't believe in anything that alters your body. She doesn't even believe in birth control. I am just not ready for the criticism. I just got comfortable with the idea of having surgery.

[Katnroyal 225]

Yeah you need to stay positive and surround yourself with positive people!

[mizzle2105 4]

Well, thanks again for all the encouragement. I look forward to getting to know you better as I embark on this journey.
