Finally Some News!!

OK, while I STILL don't have a surgery date I do have my last consult date before the surgery and that is Nov. 11th!! Yeah!! I am so excited and have been doing lots of reading and researching so I'll be properly prepared! I want to be the perfect patient & do everything I'm told to do! The delay for me is that I have Medicare & Medicare requires that the facility is a Center of Excellence & that involves inspections & all kinds of stuff...the facility is new & has met all the requirements except for one last inspection!! Come on...inspect it already! My surgeon himself has a rating of excellence, but it's the building that needs it now! But anyway....it's getting closer now.....those dreaded "before" photos coming soon.....

Welcome!

I'm so excited to be starting this blog! I named my blog Terri's Release because I can so relate to how so many people say they feel trapped in their bodies & I am ready to be released! It is a major milestone in my life. After so much "drama" in my life lately I have finally started to take control in every aspect & it's way past due! I am preparing now to have weight loss surgery, the Duodenal Switch procedure. Meet my Dr. & read more about the surgery HERE. Some people say it's a drastic move, but I have a LOT of weight to lose & simply can't do it on my own. The thought is too enormous for me & I need help, so this is what I have chosen after months of prayer & weighing the pros & cons. I realize I need to re-learn how to eat and this procedure will help me do it. Of course, this blog will only represent my feelings & experiences & is not to be taken out of context. I welcome your support & ask for no negative remarks to be left here, as I will need to remain as positive thinking as possible to be successful with this. So....here I go....keep me in your prayers! I will post my surgery date SOON...or at least I hope it's soon! I'll begin adding pics, too, altho I dread that part! LOL
