In 3 days I'm having Gastric Bypass surgery. i'm thinking about blogging about the entire experience over the next year as a way of teaching others about what you go through and how my life changes in whatever ways it will.

I've been big my whole life and according to the doctors this surgery will cause me to lose 2/3rds of my excess body weight. I've been told by everyone that I know who has had the surgery that their lives have changed for the better.

My question to everyone is this; should I do this project and will anyone actually read it?

I'd like to think it would be helpful, but I don't want to be another annoying blogger. With how many people are now interested in getting this surgery I think it would be a good thing.

My reasons for getting the surgery are three fold:

1. I'm diabetic and this, according to many sources, cures it.

2. I have chronic acid reflux that causes me to wake up in the middle of the night thinking I'm having a heart attack.

3. I'm overweight and I'm sick of feeling like poo all the time. I see this as reboot on my life.

So think of this as a survey.

Do you think this will be helpful and would people get use out of it?

Cheers

Jess
