I am getting closer to a surgery date and am very excited, but getting more nervous too. I went to my fist support group meeting this week. I think it increased my anxiety! Tomorrow I have my final appointment with the psychologist. Wednesday I see the nutritionist for the last time. Then all that will stand in my way is insurance, which shouldn't be complicated - but you never know! I have lost 18.8 pounds as of this morning using my fitness pal app. As of this week I am totally off Diet Coke. I am trying to do everything I can on the front end to make this easier on the post op side. A bit about me - I am 48 years old with a BMI of 58. I have fought my weight my whole life. I am hoping this will be the answer for me. I live in Minnesota, am married and have a teenage son. I have been looking at some of the posts here and I think I am going to find this a very important tool to my success!

I am glad you found us too. Welcome to the boards and good luck!!!!

Welcome & I'm glad you love it here so do I. Lmbo
