It's been awhile since I've blogged. I always want to write something insightful, or something witty. It never seems to work out that way though. I often think of various topics I want to write about but I end up second guessing myself. I've got to tell myself that there is nothing wrong with fluff. After all, this isn't exactly the New York Times here.
For 3 years, I've struggled with a choice of what to do about my weight. Currently, I'm 338 pounds. This is the fattest I've ever been. For the first time in my life, I'm experiencing complications due to my weight. Let me tell ya, it's pretty scary to feel like you are drowning in your own body.
Last month, I saw my primary care doctor to discuss gastric bypass surgery. He felt I would be a good candidate, and referred me to our local bariatric program. This Thursday, I take the first step in my journey towards a healthier weight.
