Hello everyone!

I figured I'd post to say hello to everyone since I'm at the start of my journey! I had my First Pre-Op visit today to get things rolling. My 6th visit with my PCP is this coming Saturday. So I'm at the end of my 6 months, hopefully! I just need to visit the psychologist for a eval, have an EGD & EKG, and an Nutritionist visit before I everything is sent off for approval. Approval is fairly easy with my insurance, I know of 2 other people who have had WLS this year with the new plan. I'm excited, yet nervous. I've tried everything including Medifast (yuck on some stuff.) Lost about 20lbs working out and with medifast. Then decided to start seeing a doctor. Hurt my knee and gain about 7lbs back. I really hope my surgery gets approved to help me lose weight so that I can be around for my husband and start a family... and be around to see my kids have kids and so on. I wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to making new friends and learning all I can from you all.

Best wishes...

Lisa
