Hello Everyone.I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I am sure this is something a majority of us on here can relate to. I have lost and regained over 100lbs 3x in my life. I am tired of the up and down yo-yo syndrome, as well as dealing with the feelings of failure and embarrassment associated with regaining the weight. I am in the awaiting my pre-op testing. I am experiencing mixed emotions- I am excited and happy that I have been approved and the insurance is covering the surgery, but I am nervous and scared that I will some how fail again. I wonder if I can handle all the changes in lifestyle. In my mind I want to be sucessful and can visualize myself being thin and healthy and I know this is part of a positve mindset. Any other suggestions  are certainly welcome.I am looking forward to gaining support and making new friends on this site.
