A friend of mine told me about Bariatric Pal years ago. I have been going back and forth with the idea of WLS for about 6 years. Over the past 6 years I have been on diet after diet after diet. Hiring personal trainers, signing up for zumba, yoga, dance classes, gym memberships etc. I have been successful a few times, the most I have ever lost is 40 pounds. You name it! I have tried it!
 
Over the past 6 years, I have started and stopped the process to have surgery about 3 times. I used to frequent this website as well, but never created an actual profile introducing myself or anything. I guess I was never really serious about the surgery, but NOW and I AM!
 
The first step was to complete a weight loss seminar. I have completed that. I have my first appointment with my surgeon on July 6th.
 
My hope is to gain a community of supportive people who are going through the same process and to help me get through this, because I know that it will be difficult. I know what to expect and I am ready.
