Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

Hello im new here and im having my first eval on may first and im so worried but yet excited. Im 29 years old i will turn 30 in july and i have been married for 2 years. I am 5'2 and i weigh 477pounds im so tired of being this way and my doctors have all said surgery is my only option. So i am starting the process and im scared worried and excited.

babydoll83 just remember that this may and is scary but it it very exciting! I am 28 and had surgery April 4th. There were times that I thought about waiting on the surgery but I say down and weighed the options. I have tried several other weight loss methods but none o them seemed to work for me. This is the best decision to begin a new chapter in your life. Don't let anyone else discourage you along the way. I have had several people tell me I "don't want to do this." But living the way I was, was miserable! This was something I did not only for myself but my family! Good luck in your journey. And any time you feel discouraged by someone who simply doesn't understand this forum is a great outlet for inspiration!
