Hello All!

This is my first post. I have had my consultation with the doctor, and he has submited to my insurance company. I am getting the other things in line and passing my time getting as educated as possible. This site is AWESOME. This is definately the place to go for help and support. I look forward to making many new friends here. Of course I am overwhelmed !!!( with the decision, the uncertainty, the lifestyle change, the preop, the postop, being able to wrap my mind around the possibility of actually being able to lose weight. ) We can get into those things later. LOL . I think that these are possibly fears that everyone faces. So glad I found this site. This is by far the best forum ever.

Welcome...Congratulations on your decision. Remember when reading others experiences that EVERYONE is different. Even if you read something and 98% of the people have experienced the same results doesn't mean that is going to be your experience. Always remember listen to YOUR body. Good Luck on your Journey and Welcome to a great place to get to know alot of new people and be supported all the way.

I too have loved this site and think it is the best! I have found friendship, support, advice, you name it on this board. The people here are so friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any questions you have.

If you are overwhelmed, just ask away, we have all just been there.

It is such a major life change and too have others that understand you, to go through this journey together, is priceless.

I look forward to seeing you around!!! Audree

Hi Tea Time, this was the best decision I ever made. I just wish I had done it sooner. Best of luck to you.

Thank you for the welcome. I am very excited about my new journey. I wish you all continued success. I'm sure that I will be talking to you all. Actually Audree, I have been following the Lower BMI thread. I'm sure I will be posting there. It's a great forum. Best of Luck, Teresa
