You got this!

With a positive attitude and the love and support from all these amazing people on this site you will go far!

Keep smiling!

Best wishes on you WLS journey

You can do this! You have everyone's support on this forum. I use this as my support system, because I chose not to tell anyone but my hubby. Look thru this site as you go through the different phases. Use the search feature and look up things as you are going thru it; like depression, regrets, and other scary feelings you go thru at first. This will help you see that it is normal. Then when you realize that these are normal feelings and will pass you feel better. Hang in there we are all here for you!!!

Hope all went well. To echo everyone you are not alone. This is something you do for YOU! Some people agree some don't but it is a choice. I found the support, advice and encouragement on this form has been incredible. Even more than my friends. Good luck to you on your journey to a new YOU

How did it go?

It went very well thank you for checking. I'm doing very good saw the fox last week and everything logged fine and i was down 15 pounds

Sometimes we have to do things alone and in the end our families who didn't stand by us are the ones who are going to have the biggest regrets. You are so strong to continuing this journey and this is one small step. Ask your hospital if they have a support group. I know the one I went to has this program called visiting angels where other wls patients mentor others. It sucks when we don't have our families backs, but it's their loss not ours. I hope that you have a speedy recovery and everything goes well.
