Re-visiting Surgery

After a very painful session with my therapist in which I spoke about my feelings about my appearance, she suggested it was time to address my weight again.  Now that the littlest one is 4 months old (ack!).  So I called up the IMBS and asked what I would have to do in order to get back on the schedule for surgery.  Turns out, all I needed was lab work, a meeting with my surgeon, Dr. B, and a consultation with the nutritionist.

In just two weeks, I went from no hope to being extremely hopeful.  I've completed all of those things already and my surgery is scheduled for December.  I can't believe it is happening so fast.  And even better, I am able to have the VSG which is now covered by my insurance!  What a difference a year can make!

I am really looking forward to this new journey and all that I will be able to achieve.  I don't care about being skinny.  I just want to keep up with my girls and enjoy them.  I can't even tell you how embarrassing and frustrating it is not to be able to climb on a ride with your 2 year old on vacation.  Next year - I'm going to be able to do it.  There is no other option.  I won't miss any more experiences with my girls because of my weight. 

I'm practically giddy!
