And my journey begins…

That is I received a call this week to set up my first appointment for bariatric surgery. My first appointment is in a month and no sooner did they book that one, but they followed it up with an e-mail that same day with 5 more appointments booked…over whelming, I know. My mind is spinning; I can’t stop thinking about how this could really happen before the year is up. My whole life is going to change as I know it, people won’t even recognize me and I’m afraid I won’t be able to recognize myself. I have so many questions for the surgeon. I’ve done all the research I can online and now the only ones who can answer my questions are the people at the clinic. I’m anxious, excited and nervous all at the same time. I don’t think I’m going to be sleeping well until all this is done.

PS> As I have my appointments and obtain more information, I'll be posting my journey here.

PSS> An update, I'm now 28 years old and I've been over weight for as long as I can remember, so believe it or not I'm scared to lose the amount of weight I'm going to lose and hope I still recognize myself in the mirror.
