This blog is my journal of my journey through bariatric surgery. I really feel as if I am preparing to undergo a metamorphosis (I know that's a little cheesy). It's as if the body I've lived in for the past 41 years is retiring and it's time for a new body for the next phase of my life. Please respect that what I am sharing is very personal. It may be hard for some of you to understand what I am going through, but I hope you'll respect it.
