Hi all I am 34 and in Arizona, I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I have so much to loose though and I am ready for the journey. I so badly would like to have a child before I hit 37 and in order for me to do so I need to drop alot of weight. Plus I have HB and am on medication and I want off it. I am a bit scared of my journey but hey any unknown teritory is always scarry huh. I have about 250 lbs to loose I went to my consultaion and test on june 25 and went to my last noutritionist apt on sept 22 and they submitted to insurance now I am waiting I hope to have the operation in october some time. I am scared of my out of pocket but I have applied for a care credit card to handle that. I need to do something or one day soon I wont be around to do anything at all. The one thing that is hard for me is the not drinking anything before and during and for 30min after my meals, it even has made me cry I am not sure why maybe fustration. I did it ever since june but here lately have stoped because of alot of things going on and more shakes being drank than anything else I am down 28 lbs since june hope to go down another 20 before I get my pre op diet. thanks guys :tongue2:
