The Process Starts

On January 6, I went and met with my surgeon about Lap-Band surgery.  And while he did say that bypass was a better option for someone with my BMI I'm still going to get the LB.  I figure since I have to wait six months (insurance requirement) that I can lose some weight to begin with thus lowering my BMI.  Right now it is just a little over 50.  So that appointment went well.

Tomorrow, I have my psych evaluation.  This is the step that always worried me, but not anymore.  I know what I need to do to get myself better.  And I'm not totally crazy so that works too.

Everyone I have told is supportive and that is going to make this super easy to reach my goals.  So some of my goals are: to sit comfortably in an airplane seat, sit comfortably at baseball stadiums, fit into more age appropriate clothes, be overall more comfortable with me.
