I am new to the site. I am ready to get my life started with a healthy me. I have been 6 months waiting and working to get started and now I'm at the moment of ready to go. I started the presurgery diet today and scheduled for surgery next Tues. So many emotions and thoughts running through my head, but I am fully ready for the new stage of my life to begin.

Good luck!!

good luck to you, I will be at that point soon also therefore I can only imagine

thanks and good luck to you too...I was banded yesterday...a bit sore today but other than that doing well

Hi, Welcome to the site. I'm pretty new here too; have my first appointment with surgeon today at 4:30. Insurance doesn't cover any Bariatric treatment, so DH and I are doing self pay.

Looks like our stats are very similar. I'm at 250 right now, 5' 4", would love to get down to 140 - 150. Good luck on your weight loss journey - it is a very exciting time!
