Thank you! I will get on the drinking more Water and exercising!

Hello Everyone! This is my first post in this forum. I decided a couple of months ago to start researching WLS and I went to a talk done by Dr. Sudan at Duke, where I also work. And was interested in getting the DS surgery after the talk. I have done all of my initial visits, Dr. Sudan, Psych, Nutritionist and have been cleared. I still have all of my other testing to get done, Aka, sleep Study, EGD, Blood work, chest X-ray. I am spreading them out over the next 6 months that I have to wait for my insurance company to approve it. When I first learned that I would have to wait 6 months to even be approved, my insurance requires me to be in Weight Watchers for 6 months going once a week to be weighed and exercising 3 times a week. I was very upset that I would be "forced" into another diet, but once I let it go and just decided to submit to what I had to do to get my surgery, I felt much better. I figured if I lose weight before my surgery it will be all the better! Although, going into weight watchers once a week to be weighed like cattle makes me feel anxious, embarrassed and pissed off. But it is just another hurdle to get to my ultimate goal of sustained weight loss! Just saying hi to everyone! I am looking at possibly getting my surgery in April 2015. Whoohoo! I hope everyone has a great day! Jessyeish

Thanks everyone for your support! I am super excited and yes, time will fly I hope!
