I'll be attending the first seminar on the 16th. Needless to say I'm more then excited! Growing up I was a stick. After having my son 28 years ago I've struggled with my weight since. I had a bad break up and list the weight. i recently remarried (#3) and gained all the weight back and more. I realize I am a emotional eater. I've gained 26 pound s since September 2012. My insurance covers the surgery. I've already called and checked my deductible and have selected the surgeon and hospital ill use. It has been very helpful reading your stories. Please give me advice and support. Thank you very much.

Welcome, you will find a great deal of support and help through your journey here. I have learned a lot from everybody here. They always answer my post and you can look up just about anything on here and find it. I joined about a month or so ago, to be honest I can't really remember when, it has gone by so fast. My surgery is the 28th of May and this sight has really helped prepare me. So, glad your here and hope everything works out well for you and you enjoy this site as much as I do. Good luck

advice is to believe in yourself and do not worry about past losing weight efforts..that is then, this is now...let this tool aid you....and all you need to do is let it.....dont expect to lose 25 pounds a day and realize that you CAN...the pre and post op diets are hard, but you CAN..

congrats on this exciting venture you are about to start
