Just starting!

Hey! I'm 25 and I just started my journey. I go for my first seminar tomorrow. This is my second time trying this out I began the process last time but with school I decided to wait. Now I'm finished with school and I couldn't be more excited to get this started! I'm hoping to have surgery this summer and could use all the support available.

    Had my last nutrition appointment today! It's going to insurance so it will be 8-10 days hopefully before I hear anything! The nutritionist said she see's no reason why I shouldn't get approved! Now I'm just playing the waiting game. Eekkk
