My weight loss journey

I have decided to have weight loss surgery. This was a very difficult decision for me to come to. I had to battle my own demons and the demons of others to get where I am today. I've been overweight my entire life. It has impacted almost everything that I've ever done. Now I have daily pain, and I'm only in my 20s! Something drastic had to be done. So, here is a picture of me now. I'm ready to have this surgery to make me a healthier person. I'm ready to have this surgery to be a better parent. I'm ready to have this surgery to live.



I have already gone through all of the insurance approval and pre-op testing. I've been approved at every turn. I have my surgery scheduled for Tuesday, May 2nd. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, but very ready. I'm ready to begin the rest of my life. I have many around me who support me and are going to be very helpful along my journey.
