Beginning Stages

Hi All!
I am very new to this way of life.  Blogging has always been interesting to me.  Not sure how good I will be at it but I am going to try.
I wanted to share my journey with getting the gastric band surgery.  Hopefully I help someone in the process.  If not I am an only child so I don't mind talking to myself.  LOL!!!
As of today I have completed all but one of my pre-op requirements.  I have done the endoscopy, the blood work up and the venous doppler of both legs.  Now I just have to complete the psych evaluation.  This is going to be interesting.  I have it scheduled for August 6th.  After that I am on my way.
Just a side bar - I didn't come to this conclusion lightly.  I have been going back and forth about this for over ten years.  I don't like being the first to do something so I wait and research and talk to people.  I have lost and gain weight my entire life.  And now I am excited about this next phase. 
So stick around as I share my life as open and honest as I can be. 

Thanks in advance,

Sherri
