As I begin my new journey with "The Secret" I will find all of this so much easier. A peaceful journey to good health and happiness.

There doesn't seem to be enough time to listen and read and learn all that I want to learn these days. What is the rush? If peace is my goal I should slow the process and enjoy the journey

My highest weight was 265. On surgery day I was 261. My lowest now has been 194. 70 pounds. Wow! The beauty of it is that it won't come back. I will never go over 200 again.

I had an unfill a couple days...

I am so ready for this. I am anxious about the insurance. Even though I planned on being self pay, when they told me my insurance would cover it I was very excited. I'd hate to have to pay it all now and David would not be happy. I won't let anything stop...

Well I think it will be a good idea to document some of the events and feelings somewhere, so why not here.

I am awaiting the ok from my insurance and gathering medical information. I am very anxious and excited. I hope I have a good outlook and will be very successful.
