As I write this, I am three weeks away from Gastric Sleeve Surgery. My current weight is 365lbs, I am 6 feet tall, and I am 38 years old. My surgery date is August 27, 2010.
I chose Bariatric Surgery because I have always struggled with my weight. Sure I have lost a lot of weight in the past, and there were times in my life where I was thin, but for the most part I have always been fat. I am looking for a more permenant solution to my weight problem.
I have had to quit smoking, quit drinking soda, and lose five pounds before my pre op appointment which is next Thursday. So in short, I have had to quit everything I like to do.
I am both excited, and nervous about my surgery. On one hand I am excited about losing a lot of weight and keeping it off. On the other hand, I am nervous about the surgery itsself. I have never had surgery, and I am afraid I will wake up in the middle of it.
I will keep you posted on how things go.
