Hello, I just came across this sight. I'm totally new. Went for my seminor on Thursday. I've been thinking about this for years! I want a new life. Divorced for 19 years and now an empty nester, so I have to find myself again. Depressed because I'm so over weight. I don't go out, or buy clothes, etc. Basically I hide from life. I am so unhappy and I need a change. I know this is a lot of work. After researching this seems like it is a good tool. I need a jump start. Fortunately, my insurance does pay for this. It almost sounds too good to be true but I'm still not sure. I guess it's a little scary since I've hid behind my fat for some many years. What if this actually works and I do lose some weight? Then what? What if guys are interested in me again. lol That's a scary thought. Change is exciting yet also getting out of ones comfort zone. I would appreciate support here. I don't have it any where else. I'm told it's about a 90 process from the time of your seminar to get it all ready for the Big day. I'm 43 years old and I want to live again! This I feel is my only chance. I can't believe I wrote all that! lol anyway here goes nothing!!!

Good luck tp you Oliva do this for you and you only everything else will fall into place once you feel healthy imagine the confindince well regain at normal weights I'm not going until Aug 20 nervous but can't wait

Olivia ... I hid behind my weight for years...due to medical problems, i new i had to do something ... i started researching weight loss surgery November 2011 and had surgery on May 2, 2012.... I, too worried about losing weight...always been heavy, but decided it was time to stop being invisible.....My only regret is that i didn't do it sooner... You are not alone, your thoughts and fears are all things i felt... This site will help you, support you and advise you as you wish... Good luck, it's your turn!!!

You found a great place to be Olivia - this forum is a crazy wealth of information and there are some amazing, supportive people here. I learned so much here and it helped me prepare for my sleeve date.

I totally get what you're explaining. A lot of the things you explained resonate with me. I am new to the VST community as well and so far the support has been amazing. Good luck in your journey
