Something major, this way comes.
Well, I finally have something worth writing about. This is some big news, and I know that a few of you already know about it. I just figured that I would write it down here just so everyone can be informed.
My big news is that I am having Gastric Bypass surgery tomorrow. I must say that I am pretty excited about this. I'm not scared or nervous at all. I know that some people think I'm a little crazy for wanting to do this. But most of my friends and my whole family supports me. And I know I've made the right decision because I am doing this for myself, for a new chance at a happier, healthier life.
My surgery is tomorrow morning at 10:45, but I have to be there 2 hours early. I will be in the hospital until Thursday so they can make sure that everything is okay. And the surgery is considerably non invasive. All I'll have is five very small (dime to nickel sized) incisions on my upper left abdomen. I do not think there will be any permanent scars either. My new stomach will be the size of an egg and can only hold about 3 ounces. Isn't that crazy? The size of the average adult's stomach is about the size of a 2 liter bottle of soda. Oh, and I won't be in very much pain, and I should be fully healed and recovered within about 2 to 3 weeks.
I am seriously looking forward to this. You have no idea how much I desperately want to be thin. I am positive that this will make it happen. And the great thing is that I'm preventing myself from getting diabetes and heart disease. Both of those things run in my family, and there are also a lot of very over weight people on my family, which leads me to believe that my weight problem is not entirely my fault, but partially hereditary or genetic. My doctor is pretty sure that if I were to wait 10 more years without losing a lot of weight, I would very likely end up with diabetes. So, not only am I doing this for myself to make myself thin and beautiful, I'm also doing it to save my self from having major health problems when I get older.
So, basically, I am very excited about this surgery. I am not scared at all. I am positive that it will go smoothly without any problems. This surgery is becoming very popular. And there is only a 2% chance of complications, so it is very very safe. And I am well aware that I will need to completely change my eating habits, and that is perfectly fine with me. I don't mind having to give up so many things that I like, because I know it is worth it. Sometimes we need to make sacrifices in order to allow really great things to happen. I solemnly vow and promise myself that I will follow my diet plan exactly, to achieve maximum results. It will take me about a year and a half to lose all the weight, but seriously, I will end up losing at least 120lbs. And yes, I really am that much over weight, even if it doesn't really look like it.
I am just so happy that I have the chance to do this. I am absolutely certain that my life will be so much better in the long run. And please don't be scared for me, I promise that I will be okay--and not just okay...I will be much better than I am now.
That's all I have to say for now. I will keep you posted on how everything is after the surgery. If anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask.
Brightest blessings to all.
