So since I finally got a confirmation for my very first appointment with the surgeon at Sacre-Coeur hospital, let's just say that I have been really excited and stressed, happy but scared at the same time!
I've being doing lots of research, and reading blogs and chat rooms online about women who have had the surgery or who are, like me, waiting for their surgery date.
So far, I have been happy with what I read, seems like the wait long might not be as long as I thought it would be! But I won't rely on any of that until I get my own surgery date confirmed by the doctor.
So I am waiting... waiting and waiting.
I realized that I am still so young. 22 years old, energetic and full of life, but I am overweight, and have been my whole life. I have gone on diets, joined two different gyms, seen a dietician and cut down on my portions all to no avail. I am 22 years old and I have been clinically diagnosed with depression, anxiety and I am borderline diabetic. I am 22 years old. So I began thinking: I am so young, I have my entire life ahead of me, I am in love and I have a great job. Why waste it all away because of my weight?
I am glad I took my doctor's advice when she suggested I looked into getting the lap band surgery. I realize that this will be life changing. Not easy, but not difficult. I see it more like a little push in the back to help me adjust to a healthy lifestyle.
Once I get back from my appointment, I will know when my surgery will take place and I am expecting to get on a special diet plan. This is when I will decide if I should start a weight diary: weighing myself either weekly or monthly.
