The Journey begins tomorrow. We leave at six am for a four hour drive to Vegas. I am strangely calm. Not too worried. I am resigned and happy. If all goes well, I will have the surgery on Tuesday morning and be released 24 hours later to the care of my sweet husband. We stay in the area for one week to be sure there are no complications.
What will my new life be like? How will this change me? Will there be a downside in the longrun? I doubt it. I feel like I am stepping into my new life. With new opportunities.
I CHOOSE ME.
More later as I begin my POST OP journey on WEDNESDAY.
The Current and Sassy Me
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!
