In the beginning.....

This is all so new to me...I have never done a "blog" entry before so here it goes. I received the news yesterday at my pre-op with my surgeon, Dr. Peterson, that my insurance had approved the surgery. What a momentous day in my life and still very surreal. I about hugged the benefit coordinator to pieces over that news! I will begin the pre-surgery liquid diet next week, and then will be sleeved on 9/12/12. This is all still unbelievable and dream-like to me. I have struggled the last 20 years with my weight, and have had a lot of health issues the past three years. It has been about 9 months since I first began researching WLS and now I am on the edge, fixing to jump. I am so excited to be on this journey and welcome any and all wisdom, comments, or advice. I hope to be an inspiration, supporter and motivator to others as I have found so many on the site who have inpired and motivated me.
