Yamaha vstar 950 tour package. Full faring. And her name is Wicked. Because thats how I feel when im riding, fearless and very naughty and wicked.

Im still on the fence about surgery. I started a new job and I wont have enough vacation and sick tome built up until november. My job is along the line of a nurse in a clinic, lots of walking but not any heavy lifting. So until then im seeing the nutrition person monthly, doing all the preop and doing lots of reading. This thread helps. Thank you

Use your cpap. Some people have a cpap that is a auto adjusting cpap. It will automatically sense what pressure you need and only give you that amount. They have also come out with a home apnea test so you dont have to do the full expensive test once you have lost the weight.

I love how every one is so helpful. It is helping to know that I am making the right decision.

I started on this journey about 7 years ago. Then what stopped me was the cost of the procedure, the fact that it would have been banding or bypass. And lack of encouragement from a then husband. Fast forward 7 year. Ex husband. My very supportive family, changing jobs and having great insurance. Me wanting to have a life that I don't complain of knee pain and a lot of other ailments. I'm only 42 but feel 82. So I have done the informational meeting, did the first intake meeting with the dietician and the nurse. Next is shrink, dietician and meet with the doc. Starting to question the what ifs.... will I only be able to eat Protein the rest of my life? Can I take I bite of my dad's birth cake with out getting sick? I only have 2 weeks of sick time built up. Will it be enough time off from work? I want to be healthy. Just very scared of the journey to get there. I'm in central Minnesota and If there are any locals I would love to have a mentor and coach to call on for encouragement
