I have my surgery on Tues June 4th. Im nervous but so excited about what's to come. I know it's going to be very hard in the weeks following surgery but Im ready! I have really high blood pressure that I have been struggling with for years. Im at 195 pounds and 35 BMI, I have struggled with weight loss because of hypothyroidism. I know I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose but in the end hopefully I will be healthier and maybe get off some medication. I am 32 with 2 kids and Im mostly looking forward to being active with my kids and husband and being happy in my skin for the first time in a really long time!!

How exciting!! I know that it'll be a challenge (as it will be for me when I have the surgery), but it sounds like you have the right mindset, focusing on the long-term benefits instead of the short-term difficulties. Good luck with everything!
