Just starting this amazing (but seemingly long) process

Hi all,

I'm a divorced, 35 year old Mom of 2 daughters. I have been battling my weight for nearly 15 years and have decided to take charge. Like most of you, I'm exhausted. Mentally, emotionally and physically...

I've been researching this process for a few weeks now and will be attending a seminar on the 16th of this month. My first appointment is September 1 and I'm so anxious already. I've spoken with my insurance company and believe I'm extremely borderline. This is a true concern but I'm still hopeful.

This website and community is exactly what I've been searching for the past few days so I'm so glad to have found you all!

Feel free to contact me if your story is similar as I'd love to have a "buddy" throughout this journey!

I've done the seminar and my first appointment and now i have an appointment with the RN's and Dr's on the 30th of this month! So I am pretty close to where you are!

I am also worried because I am borderline...I feel like I will get through but it is really my only concern! I've done loads of research and I am ready for this journey!

I'm 31, no kids, and really excited about actually being in control for more then 4-5 months at a time! I am done with working so hard, seeing results, and then failing again!!

Here's to us!:unsure:
