I just got my tentative surgery date for my mini gastric bypass. November 22nd. This immediately follows our business's busiest season, Halloween. Am I making the right decision during this stressful time? I think so.
The Packet is a thing of wonder! So many questions. So much education. I feel like I am in college again. Good thing, though. All the knowledge eases my mind.
What will my new life be like? How will it be different? How will it be better? Will I actually miss part of being this way? I cannot imagine that. The small things that will change actually boggle me more: being able to tie my shoelaces, crossing my legs when I sit, not worrying about if a chair will hold me, not stressing over airline seats, not being afraid to meet new people, being able to get a massage, moving faster, the list is endless...My new birthday will be a tremendous gift to my body and soul.

My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!
