And So the Journey Begins......

It's taken me awhile to get to this point. The point where I feel like I'm not drowing, not sinking, not in a black hole.
But in order to feel the hope, I needed to feel the hopelessness. And boy did I feel it!! I spent 2 months feeling like I'd always be the sociallyy challenged challenged fat girl who couldn't go through a day without having some sort of medical complaint.
But then something amazing happend.
Whilst in the deep dark hole I was searching a PCOS forum (if you don't know what PCOS is then see the link in web pages link). Looking for a solution, looking for the light. I came across a thread for something called "Lap Banding". I had no idea what it was so I read everyone's comments and how life saving/changing it was. I thought the only WLS (Weight Loss Surgery) there was, was gastric bypass which I wouldn't do. But this was a band around the stomach that was adjustable and also reversable. The recovery time isn't that long and health care covers most of the cost. When I read all this information my eyes widened. My mind swelled with futurisic ideas and I smiled. A smile I hadn't done in two months.
After going to the complusory information night I was filled with possiblilties. I booked in my 1st consultation for 21st Feb and here we are. Waiting. And boy it's been a struggle! I've been up many a night til 3 a.m searching all the forums for as much information as I possibly can get. I've already met some amazing people through Central Coast Bandsters!!
I will eventually put photos up when I'm not as embarrased. Gimme a few days!!!!
Not long til my consultation..... not long until my new life......
