Hi there. Come follow me on my weight loss journey. After 17+ years of being overweight, I've finally made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery. I have had my ups and downs trying to get the surgery but I know the trials will be worth the end results. Right now I am approximately 5-6 weeks pre-op which seems incredibly close considering I have been actively pursuing the surgical procedure for 18 months.
When I first began researching surgical options for weight loss online I came across very few personal stories other than Star Jones (Did she or didn't she? She did?!), Al Roker (who had many good things to say), and Randy Jackson. Sure -- it is great to have public figures to refer to. Remember that they have access to more amenities than you or I do such as personal trainers and cosmetic surgeons. I hope that my blog can give you an idea of what I've gone through and if you are researching weight loss surgery yourself or for someone you love let this be just one example to either encourage or discourage you. Surgical weight loss (thus far) is not for the faint of heart.
With that being said, stay tuned as I go for a fantastic adventure. I hope to come out the other side as a much smaller person.
