Hi, I'm new. *wave*

Hello, all! I'm new to this site and just want to introduce myself. I will be having VSG on February 6th (yay!) with Dr. Houston in Nashville. I've been a regular on another site during my journey to surgery, but this site really appeals to me, and I like that it is specific to our surgery type. Just a little about me. I'm 33, live in West Tennessee, never married, no children, no... life. Like many, I've been overweight since early childhood, about 5 or 6 years old. I have not been a yo-yo dieter, it's just been a steady climb for me, except for one brief interlude about three years ago. I went to a facility that helped treat eating disorders. I was there for a substantial amount of time and lost about 120 pounds, however, I was unable to maintain it on my own and begain regaining almost immediately. I've been thinking about surgery for many years, and the time is finally right to go ahead with it. I feel totally prepared for this (with the usual fears), I'm educated on it and realistic about expectations and doing my part to make it work, and I'm spending a large amount of time on forums talking to other people about WLS and all things related in order to stay sane as time crawls by at an agonizing pace until surgery day. I look forward to getting to know and making friends with many of you!
