Time for a change in my LIFE!

Sorry for not being around and writing new blog entries lately! I have been having some medical problems and running my father to many follow up appointments from his accident. And after much thought of recent events in my life I have decided to make a change. For a long time I have struggled with being overweight. But the last few years I have become so heavy that I had to give up almost everything I love. I haven’t been able to go bowling, hunting or anything that had a lot of walking. I have become type 2 diabetic, high blood pressure and so on. The good thing is my cholesterol is great. I thought about the surgery option for awhile but have been to scared until now. I have done a lot of reading and talking to both people that have had the stomach stapling and the lap band. I know the risk of both but living like I am won’t end in anything good.

It is truly a life changing event that I can’t wait to start on. There has been a lot of advances in this area in the last few years and it is a lot safer than it use to be. But it is still a major surgery. I know it won’t be easy or painless but the good things in life usually aren’t. I go to a seminar in about a week to learn more about pre and post surgery things that need to be done. It takes like 4 – 5 months before you have the surgery. This is so you can go to a nutritiousness, get a psych eval and a whole list of other things that need to be done. I am truly excited about this next chapter in my life. I will be updating all as this next chapter unfolds in my life. Thank you all for the support that you have been giving me. If any one has had this done or knows of someone that has had it done please send me an email about it. Good or bad I would like to hear about it.

I can’t wait to get out in the outdoors hunting again. I really miss the smell of the wilderness and the memories that can be made.

I would love to hear your opinion or thoughts about mine. If you want to leave it as a comment that is fine. Or you can email it to me at reelandsteel.com@gmail.com.

Also if you have a story that you would like to share as a guest blogger or pics you would like to post on the website email them to me also.

Have a great day all and enjoy your days in the outdoors!
