Hi all, I found this site a few months ago when I really started taking getting this procedure done seriously. I have been flirting with the idea of it for over a year, but in December I decided that it is time to move forward. I can't do it on my own anymore. the more weight i lose, the more i gain back when i fall off the wagon, so I am hoping this will be a great tool for me to stay the course this time.

As far as taking this particular journey, I am both excited and scared to death. I have probably more than 200 pounds to lose and I know it's not going to be easy. I am glad that I have found a place that seems encouraging and is loaded with information and support.

At this time, I have chosen not to tell anyone that I am doing this. Not my family, not my co-workers and not even my closest friends.....so I am going to be counting on you guys (yeah, no pressure) to get me through this until I feel that I am ready to share it with the world. I know they would all just try to talk me out of it and I don't feel like fighting with anyone.....soo.....i'm keeping it hush hush for as long as I can.

We are all here for each other. Best of luck as you begin your journey.

Thank you
