Hi! This is my 1st post here. I am a 44 y.o. married mom of 4. I am in the very beginning stages of this process. I actually have my 3 hour initial appointment today! I'm excited and nervous about this. So, I just wanted to "introduce" myself. I'm sure I will have questions after my appointment. Looking forward to talking with and supporting you all.

Welcome....Hope everything goes good for you. I havent had the surgery yet, I am actually waiting for a responce from my insurance. I submitted my paperwork last week.

Welcome to VST, and welcome to your new journey! You'll find that there is a TON of useful information on this site (use the "search" feature to find topics relevant to what you want to know), but be sure to always consult with your doctor - s/he's the one that's in charge of your health...other than you, of course. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the welcome! I love this site already. @Erica2013 I pray you get a yes real soon!

I got my approval today...I'm bursting with excitement

This site has been so educatinal and everyone makes you feel lime family. I'm glad you love it!

Welcome honeyg317, the site is very helpful and I love the support!

Welcome

I think you'll find all the information very helpful (I know I have) it's nice to be able to read the good the bad and the ugly of this surgery so you can go into it with open eyes. Good luck on your journey
