So glad to hear your stories of success!! I saw my surgeon yesterday and I said my biguest fear was I was too old...he laughed and said, don't you know 57 is the new 27! Lol a stretch..but fun to think. I am anxious and excited at the same time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone! I am 57 and today I have my first Dr appt. It took me a year to get to this point to check into surgery and set my mind that this is what I am going to do. I was scared but then I began to realize I am more scared of getting larger and more health problems than I already have. That fear shifted from about having surgery to not having it . It was a complete mind set shift. It also made me get into a totally positive position about doing this with my "failure is not an option" mentality. I hope all goes well today and I start the journey. I am going he insurance route with 6 months diet before surgery. I want out of this body and I am going to spend my energy on doing that instead of bring afraid. I wish you blessings to find the strength to make the change. Yes it's hard and yes it's OK to be scared. Give yourself time, when you are ready you will know. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I am so excited. I got the call from the Dr office and my app is Jan 24 to see the Dr for the first time. I hope all goes well. I am ready to start this life saving program. I am going through the insurance route so I am looking at the 6 month diet program etc... I am aiming for an august or September surgery, God willing. I just prayed on it and am leaving it up to Him to open the doors on this path I have chosen. I am diabetic, HBP ,one kidney (a good one) and I have genetic leg lymphedema. I hope to lose 100lbs. Good to be here among the older crowd! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I thought I was the only one who needed a step stool! I love our truck but look forward to the day when I can easily hoist myself up on the bar then into the truck. funny how the goals we look forward to mean nothing to others but the world to a fat girl like me.
