When I was contemplating having this surgery... in Mexico, there was one very important person that I had dreaded facing. One person I knew would question my judgement and play devils advocate, One person who would tell me I was crazy, one person who would be hurt there was no way she could join me & one person who would insist on a minute by minute play as the surgery took place! I knew this because this is exactly how I would expect to react to her if the roles were reversed. So like any mature person would do, I dropped hints about the sx then changed the subject. When I finally told her, her reaction was exactly as I had expected! It took a couple of days for her to warm up to the idea, and now she had better be prepared to be the nutrition tab to all of my Google searches! We both have a few close knit friends, but at the end of the day, she is the one I'd hide a body for! Speaking of hiding a body ... I cannot begin to tell you all that we have been through together, party lines, white trash bashes & photo shoots, but its the big things that kept is strong... Relationships: Chicken burgers, star gazers, love note, parking lot brawls, bailes, t-shirt dresses, celebratory bonfires & lottery tickets ... enough said! Children: We were there for the 1st day of everyone of our children's life's, I MAY have burst with pride watching her kids receive awards or perform, our kids know that they are "family" and are expected to stand up for each other, and they do! Families: Parents- UGH ... Grandparent - the tears that come from them getting older ... Siblings - When the pressure of being the eldest gets to be too much! ... for rich, for poor, in sickness, in health, in happiness and in sorrow... Ha...Maybe we should have married each other ... heaven knows this is the longest relationship either one of us has had! Nicki is literally my "person," we come as a package deal, ask our boss! One of the biggest hang-ups I had when making this decision was that the people I love would be no less than a world away, and she was one of the faces that popped into my mind when I struggled with it! I don't think that either one of us are over the fact that I will be so far away, but 40 days out we have learned to accept it. Facebook talk will be busy that week! Tonight she shared 23 Promises Every Girl Should Make To Her Best Friends And Keep Forever ... I couldn't have said it better She's my best friend...

This weight loss is only from June 2015 (I had lost another 51 pounds prior to this)
Blog MissionIt has taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like God opened the right doors at the right time. My vision for this blog is not only to document and share my journey with those who care, but also to encourage those who may be following in my footsteps. First and foremost though, I want to give all the glory to God & to focus on his plan for me throughout the journey. What you talkin' 'bout?VSG = Vertical Gastric Sleeve Categories
