I had my consultant at the beginning of this month and had my 1st official nutritional visit yesterday. It's really happening.. I'm scared, frightened and excited all at the same time. I've been overweight my entire life and I honestly can't imagine what it is going to be like to be healthy and beautiful.

I have 6 months of the nutritional visits, a psych visit and my "tentative" time frame is mid July. I can't wait to chat with everyone that have/is going through what I am and share stories and experiences.

Good luck we are glad you are here. If you need anything just give us a ring. No matter what it is someone on this site has seen it, done it, or wanted to do it. Leigha

The next 6 months will go by faster than you think! I was excited and nervous, too... the surgery itself really turned out to be no big deal in my book. Glad you've jumped in... it will be worth it! My friend and I were going to "jump" together... I chickened out the first time around, and now she's 100 pounds lighter, while I'm only 6 days post-op. At least now you have not let another day slip by wondering "what if..." You're on your way! Congrats on making the first step!

Good luck to the both of you!!
