First Step

For years I have been adamently against surgery to lose weight. I've hit the point that I am now not only against it, but excited about it. Today I take the first step towards my journey...I am meeting with the doctor for an initial consultation. I am excited and nervous - but mostly excited. I want to know everything that I need to know. Today starts the beginning of the rest of my life. Today starts the day that I become a better mother, wife, and me.

I will be posting again after we meet with the surgeon so that I can get everything documented before I forget anything.

Starter Post

Hi -

I am Jaime. And this blog is to document my journey from large to small with the assistance of bariatric surgery. I will write my background story in another blog at a time when I am not so exhausted. But for now, I just wanted to start the blog off.

My hope is to provide documentation of my journey for myself, in hopes of finding out more about me as I progress, as well as to offer first hand experience knowledge to other people out there who are considering this route.

I have my first consultation with a bariatric surgeon on Thursday, more details to come!
