I have my seminar Monday. Very excited. At 48, trust me, back and knees only get worse. Lol. It is cool how we can all go on this fabulous journey together. Glad to meet you.

Can't wait until I am at that point. It is miles away. Didn't even meet with surgeon yet.

I am also hoping for December. So excited and ready to start this. Can't wait!!!!

I am an open book. I have told everyone. My hubby, my family, my friends and my coworkers and boss. I have asked each one individually if I can count on their support, because, boy am I gonna need it. ???????????? I think everyone feels differently and you absolutely need to do what feels right for you.

Congrats. Speedy, healthy, skinny recovery. Lol

I am excited to go on this journey as well.This forum is very informative. Can't wait to pick up speed.

I am new as well. I have an app this week with my internist to get the ball rolling. I am getting more excited every day. Also anxious. I guess both are normal feelings. This is g I into be a terrific journey for both of us.

I am at the first minute of the process, so I don't know what to suggest. Just wanted you to know I will pray for the right things to fall into place for you.

Iliterally just decided that this was right for me. I have always had really good self esteem and told myself that this was for health reasons. But, man, since I have decided to go forward, all of a sudden I feel fat and ugly and all I can think k about is how good I'll look skinny. I thought finally deciding would make me feel good, but, fat it is!

I made a call to my insurance carrier Federal BC/ BS...oh so very much information. Seems like all hospitals farther away.

I guess the only way to get there is to start. Thanks all.

I am a 48 year old big gal. I have always felt fabulous about myself, but I'm at an age where health risks if obesity scare me. I have a 41 BMI. I have lost weight before but ate it all back plus. I want to do this. I just made appointment with my internist to get the ball rolling. What is a general time frame from first general appointment to surgery day? I am asking for RNY. I was looking for some thing like bariatric for dummies. Lol I think I will like this better.
