P.S. - opurity also makes a sublingual B12, and other supplements. Also, they do not use ANY ingredients from China.

Hi there,
I am new to VST and just had my first consultation with the bariatric nurse on friday. I have a long way to go before i am scheduled for surgery but i am ready!
I have struggled with my weight my whole life and i have come to a point where something has to be done. I have to lose 5% of my weight, (about 20 lbs) and keep it off, meet with a nutritionist, physical therapist, and psychologist for evaluation, then attend 5 behavior modification group sessions before i meet with the surgeon. Seems like a lot to do but it is worth it!
I am doing all of this for a very important reason.... i want to be a mom. My husband and i just learned that IVF is the only option for us and my BMI needs to be 35 or lower for the best possible results for my age group. I am almost 40. At first i didn't think that would be a lot of weight until i googled a BMI chart and realized that to go from a BMI of 51 to 35 would be around 100lbs!!! So since it would be unlikely that i could get that weight off on my own in a year, i decided to look into the sleeve and i am glad that i did. Its worth putting off all the hormones and therapy in order to have a healthy pregnancy and child.
So thankful that i found this forum! So much inspiration here!
