Hello All!

Hello all! I just found this MN forum, I'm so glad someone started it :)

Well, I will introduce myself. I'm Sara, 30 year old and from Brooklyn Park. I have been obese my whole life, I even remember shopping in plus sizes in middle school. As many of you have experienced, I've worked hard to lose weight in the past....but nothing has happened. I'm so thankful for this gift I've been given when my company changed insurances and finally started covering weight loss surgery.

I started my journey in December by going to the Park Nicollet general information session. In January I hit the ground running! After 3 months of nutrition visits and 40 lbs, I was approved to day for surgery. I'll meet with Charles Svendson on 5/17/12 to set a date for surgery. It just started to hit me that this is REAL!! The nerves are starting to hit...but I know I'm doing the right thing.

Can't wait to meet you all and share this wonderful journey. Peace be with you all!

Hi Sara,

I was just reading your message to the MN Sleevers group. I also have Dr. Svendsen has my surgeon. The funny thing is, I too, will be meeting with him on May 17th. I am having a revision; band to sleeve. Maybe we will run into each other.

Welcome,

Heather
