Welcome. There is a lot of great stuff on this forum.

My life is an open book. I have told work, friends and family and have received nothing but support. I plan on using all of them post op as a huge support system. I feel very lucky.

I second all of the above. I went to seminar sure of Roux-ny. Reflux and chance to lose the most weight. Didn't have it yet but still feel that I made the right decision.

Good luck!

Had first NUT last week. Next week is psych.Very excited. I am 5'10"and 308. Hoping I am actively losing as I type. We are on this journey together.

I think we all have to be careful if the naysayers. Somewhere in a tiny place in our brain is a negative thought and these people can pull the trigger on it. They only mean well, but I am learning to stop listening. (Very hard)

I just had first surgery appointment last week and I am, like, excited, scared, ooo, back to excited, anxious, blah blah blah. Feel like I am literally feeling 12 different feelings an hour.

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.

Welcome. I go to my seminar Monday and already received oodles of support and great advice and info.

Ok, me too. Let's say evil, wicked sexy. Lol

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.

When we are done we are going to be healthy, skinny and darn sexy! (Notice I put healthy first, lol)

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!

Sounds very exciting. And encouraging. I can't wait to start!

Sajijoma...we will get along well.I am "unique"and I love it, but will the psychiatrist love it? Lol ????

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