Hello everyone, I have been visiting VST for a while, just now introducing myself. I have pretty much the same story as everyone else. Yo-yo dieted most of my life, weight loss expert that can tell you how to loose it, just not keep it off, emotional eater, etc. But in August of 2012, I went to a seminar at New Life Bariatric Center in Knoxville Tn. and met Dr. Boyce. My VSG journey started then. Other than insurance requirement of 10% wt. loss and one denial from insurance it has been a fairly easy process. And finally I have a date Feb. 18, 2013. Yeah!!!I am so excited,.,.,, nervous at the same time. Worried about all the changes for me and my family, how to cook for them, eat at family get togethers etc. I really enjoy reading all your positive and helpful info. so any pointers would be great.

Thanks

I completely understand. I start my liquid diet tomorrow and sleeved on Feb. 5. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I wish I didn't have to do this and I was naturally skinny but I think God makes us this way for a reason. Good luck to you and congrats.

Congrats to both of you and I wish you both a speedy recovery!! It's been a journey but it has truly been worth it to me! Best wishes:)

Thank you Renea! I need to hear its been worth it. I need positive reinforcements!!
