Hi, I am new to this site. my journey started a couple years ago , I went through the Kaiser program . made it through all the classes, and then I had started a new job so I was concerned about taking the time off work . and I just put it all on the back burner. I started again this year, I just retook all the classes and I have a sleeve surgery date of 09/18/2014. I have been more active than ever before , and I have lost 30 lbs in two months. I am honestly scared to death about the surgery now that its getting closer and closer. and I really dont know if reading all the stuff I have read helps or not . I really would just love to be on the other side and in a good place where things are great and I have no regrets.
