Where do I begin.................

well I'm embarking on a new journey. I've made a drastic decision in my life to undergo WLS. For those who don't know what this is, it is Weight Loss Surgery. After going through my whole life (heavy) for lack of a better word, I'm ready to reveal the skinny girl inside me who's dying to come out!! I'm 42 years old and wish I had made this great discovery years ago. I've had major issues with back pain and knee pain, which resulted in a partial knee replacement in Feb 05 and now I'm going to do this. I'm excited, nervous, scared and all the things wrapped up that make this the craziest decision I've ever made in my life. I think in the long run and the overall will make me a better person for my husband, children and future grandkids (well at least I hope so). Anyhow a little about me, i'm 42, married and have two boys 12 and 16. They are very active and keep me hopping but sometimes I just want to sit! Born and raised in Delaware but love to travel all over. I am a purchasing agent for a wine and spirit wholesaler and love my job although at times it is hectic. I go for my first surgeon consult 9/8/06 and am excited to get this underway.
