Hey y'all. I came across this site today. I have been doing research on the VSG for a while, attended a seminar two weeks ago and decided this is something definitely want for myself. I met with my surgeon today, and have scheduled my first meeting with a nutritionist and psychiatrist tomorrow (they work pretty fast here). My primary Dr said I have to have an upper GI and another meeting with a nutrionist, so roughly two months of prep prior to surgery, pending review from my insurance company. I'm hoping that this works out. I am 28, and have been carrying this weight for the majority of my life. I have always been a happy, positive, and confident woman...but as I am nearing 30, it's definitely time to make more positive changes.

Looking forward to making friends with you all and reading all about your journey. Say "hey" when you can.

Good Luck.....I am new to this as well!

Good luck to you love!

Hey!!! I really appreciate that! I've been debating WLS for the past year or so. I've finally stopped being a baby about it. I'm definitely looking forward to cheaper clothing.
