Once Upon a Time...
On January 22, 2008, I embarked on a journey to become a better me by having Gastric Bypass surgery. I must admit, I was nervous about making the final decision because, as you know, it's difficult for me to make any decision...even about the simple things. I knew deep down, though, that this was the right choice for me to make at that point in my life. Through much support from my family and friends, I bit the bullet and went forward in my research and exploration of the surgery. It only took a few minutes to get over my nerves and become extremely excited. It has been the best decision I ever made. To date I have lost 123 pounds in less than six months!!! Emotionally I feel great and physically I feel even better. My back doesn't ache any longer and I haven't gotten as sick as often. I don't get tired as easily and when I am truly tired I sleep nicely (without snoring)! I don't know what the future may bring, but I am positive that I'll be able to take on whatever comes my way! So bring it!
