Introducing Myself! (A Bit Long)

[Less is Best! 12]

Hope your journey for you Lori will be all you expect. I am also new to this forum and have my first seminar next Tues eve. I am so excited. I have tried everything as well as many of you here and need this surgery for several reasons...main one is for my health. I am 5'2 and weigh 224. I have other medical issues due to this weight so its a true blessing for me to no in this journey. Anyone from ROME ga? Would live a mentor/partner to go through this together. My bf supports me in this although most of my friends just don't get it. I can't wait!

Good luck Lori. I am a newbie as well and share your excitement and fears. It sounds like you are a faithful daughter, mother and friend to those who know you. I am sure your Dad is smiling down on you. It's your turn now.

Thank you everyone! It's so amazing to already be part of this community and I've only just begun. It only reassures me that I'm making the right decision. I got my phone call from the surgeon yesterday that my insurance does cover and they moved my appointment up a day to Thursday 7/19 for my initial consultation. I'm feeling like the ball is really rolling now!
