First steps

 This is my journal that will chronical my journey towards discovering who I was, and what I can now become.  This summer I plan on having gastric bypass surgery.  After years of depression, anxiety, increased health issues and just purely being fed up with life, I spent time questioning, wondering and praying about what was causing all of these issues and what I needed to do to turn things around. 

 I have this amazing daughter, and these beautiful, smart, sassy and funny grandchildren who I want to see grow and prosper. The way things have been going both emotionally and physically, I knew it was time to seek change.  I suddenly woke up one day determined to reverse my downward trends and to take control of my life.  After more praying, researching, crying and days of despair, I began to read about bariatric surgery. The research began to consume my time. The more I explored, the more it became clear that I needed to seriously consider this surgery. 

The next step was to find a doctor in-network for my insurance.  I was excited to find that my preferred hospital has an excellent bariatric program.  I watched a orientation video presented by my choice of surgeons and thus began the process.

Jumping through hoops

 I titled this post "Jumping through hoops" because for 9 weeks, that's how I felt. I knew from watching the orientation video...
