So this is the first post on my blog! I've decided to get gastric bypass surgery and I'm really excited about my decision. I've been wrestling with the idea for almost 3 year's, I've been doing serious research on it for a little over a year and I've decided the benefits outweigh the risks. I have already been to a nutritionist and went on a diet and exercise program that sort of worked and then I gained the weight back, I've been to a psychiatrist, I've had blood work done to make sure I don't have a thyroid disease or something else that would cause me not to lose weight, and I've had a blood pressure test done. I go to the Doctor on Wednesday the 18th to talk to her about getting the surgery done, she'll set up the consult with the surgeon. I really hope it doesn't take too long I want this surgery done like yesterday lol!! I'm really hoping that it only takes a month but it will probably take 2 to 3 months to get everything in order to have the surgery. I live in Germany at the moment and there are only 2 surgeons here that do the surgery and I'm very confident in Professor Weiner he comes very highly recommended and he also goes to the states to teach the doctor's there how to do the surgery. I think I'll be in great hands.
I'll be putting some pics up of me and my fat self lol probably in my next post and I'll take some before pics the day before the surgery and I'll post progress pics throughout my journey. right now I weigh 230 lbs. My goal is to weigh 130 lbs. I've always been the fat girl, I haven't weighed under 140 since I was in the 5th grade. I'm really looking forward to seeing the skinnier healthier me!! I'll post again soon.
