    Thanks again! Wow so much love from you guys, it means so much to me.I think I came across this decision at a convenient time I can only imagine how hard you've worked and I have all the more respect for you.
    Now it's easier to get WLS and I feel as if sometimes it is abused. It's a HUGE step, a big game changer. Which is why I love talking to the vet banders. They give me something to look toward.
    Thank you for your support, again it means the world!

    I started my journey to get WLS three years ago. I was just 18. But I never made an appointment, I just did research and tried to lose weight on my own. I had successful points, like dropping 20 lbs but nothing ever stuck. It wasn't until August 2013 I gained the courage to call the number in my phone, I saw the commercials but I was always so overwhelmed with a sense of failure, nervousness and just plain being told no. I got to my heaviest 266, IN August. I was fresh out of a long term relationship and wanted to make an attempt to find myself. I found myself on the phone with a lovely woman, scheduling my free consultation with True Results, now I had to wait for September because they were backed up.
    And time went on, and soon enough. September 20th arrived, I'm at work, minding my own day when my heart dropped, my appointment was at 6:30. The clock was 4:12pm I had to make a call. Luckily by the fates I was already leaving work early, I made it. They weighed me. Ran my insurance. Consoled me, listened to me. And it was as if the stars aligned. I had HOPE. I had SUPPORT. I struggled with weight all my life and it only held me back.
    So appointments were made monthly. Expected surgery mid January. My insurance didn't require too much from me. But I began changing my eating habits, and my job requires mostly physical labor so it worked in my benefit.
    After feeling I lived in a world full of doubt and no, I took control of who I am and who I will be.
    I am mid pre op diet. I am officially 10 days before surgery. I have gone from 266 since September to now 243. I admit I am addicted to food, I needed help. But the biggest part was finding help from myself and having the courage to do it.
    I have never been more happy in my life. Today I rewarded myself, not with food, no I won't let my addictions and emotional eating further control my life. I rewarded myself with new measuring set made of silver.
    I'll check in! Currently about to update my bloodwork pre surgery.
    Thank you all of you. This forum has and will continue to be, a HUGE portion of support for me.

    Thank you so much, and wow 67! You have moxy! And best of luck to you, you have no idea how much the support means to me. My health being optimal right now is key to my future, I have seen older members of my family deteriorate ans it breaks my heart a good bit of it can be pointed to bad eating habits. I have a life to live! So do you! Now go kick some butt.

    Okay! As a chocoholic on the same pre op diet I have great news. Are you taking the Calcium tablets yet? I found chewables that taste just like chocolate. No sugar! No nothing! It blew my mind. Because I was expecting that atrocious Vitamin taste, but nope! I'll have to take a picture for you. It's one a day and I take it in the morning to get rid of need for sweets. I'm on day one of the pre Op. And I haven't thought once about a sweet. Let me know if you're interested! I'm at work currently but I have no problems following up with you when I'm off work.
