  1. I havent had the surgery yet but I have one month left of the physician weight management that the insurance requires had my psych evaluation today. I have been taking Vitamins for several months now. I have lost 25 lbs so far and I am getting nervous and excited to have the surgery. I just hope I am making the right choice.
  2. I am located in Iowa to but I still have one month left on my 6 month physician weight management program. I figure I will have my surgery in Nov. I am nervous and also feel overwhelmed. Feels like a should be doing something else
  3. I would like to buddy up to. I just signed up today to this site. I am nervous and excited also. I live in Iowa and I am on my 5th month of my physician weight management. I have one month to go and I have already lost 25lbs. I just had my psych. evaluation today all that's left is attend a support group meeting and two more nicotine test and then submit the paperwork. I am thinking November or December for my surgery but we will see. I am so nervous to start the all liquid diet for 10 days. I don't know how anyone makes it through that. I am also afraid that I will back out at the last moment and I don't want to do that so I definitely will need support and encouragement/ I hope other people feel the same way.
  4. I am on my 5th month of my physician supervised weight loss program that the insurance requires and have one more month to go. I have also started losing weight before the surgery and I am now down 25 lbs since April. I found myself eating a lot of cucumbers and onions in vinegar and water. It's crunchy and salty and has very few calories. I also eat a lot of watermelon and strawberries. I just need to get better at vegetables. Anyway I am so nervous and so excited at the same time. I just hope I am making the right decision. I am just tired of not being able to move and enjoy life. I just need some encouragement to keep moving forward
