I have wanted to explore WLS for a long long time, well after a few failed marriages in my early 20's and being a single mom.. I decided it was time to shed a little light on myself. I have general concern for my health, and of course want to be anything but "the fat girl with a pretty face." So I started a new job, and was elated to find out that my hospital has a Weight Mgt center, and its a "Center of Excellence" for bariatric surgery.. SCORE!
I started my process on Feburary 1st, was approved for the program on Feburary 14th (best vday a chunky girl can get!), went thru all my intake, h&p, exercise, and nutritional evals, psych eval and am waiting on surgical consult March 23rd. We are pushing for a first week of May surgery date :-) Not bad at all!
I am super exicted to join this forum, my behaviorist has asked me to lead some of our "support groups" apparently I have some good positive light to shed, so I am hoping to do the same here.

I wish everyone good luck, and happy banding!
