For many years I have thought that I would want to have gastric bypass. I don't talk about my weight with anyone and I don't like people to bring it up with me. Let's face it, it is embarrassing to say I need help with this. Well, after much thought and seeing a good friend going through her journey I decided it is time to take the bull by the horns. Howard and I went to the seminar of Dr. Pohl's at Roger Williams Hospital and thought I am going to do this.
So with appointments made and referrals coming along I am in the beginning of my journey. I had a physical and will be seeing the surgeon at the beginning of July. And if anyone in my family comes across the blog and reads this, know that it is a decision that I have thought out. Please be supportive and I really do know that I am fat so you don't need to remind me of it. It is a somewhat long process of testing but I am going to take a deep breath and say the words that I have a hard time saying,"I need help."

Best wishes Sherry! I'll be praying for you. A friend of mine went through it and it is an ordeal, you already know this since your friend went through it too. The problems with the insurance were about as bad as the surgery :)
