I am a wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, nurse and dog owner. Not necessarily in that order. It seems like my whole life has been happiest when caring for others. Somewhere along the line, I forgot to care about me too. So, now I am doing something just for me!

I am soooo excited. I would have left my conversation wih my surgeon and gone straight into surgery that day if it had been an option. Unfortunately, my insurance company inserted several hoops in my path between now and my gastric sleeve. I am truly hoping to have everything done in order to have a March 2014 surgery. Hoping to make some friends here along the way.

Congrats on the first step of many in this journey.

There are so many great folks on this board that are willing to share their experiences and support.

I wish you luck!

Wow we are in the same exact boat. I began my process roughly a month and a half ago. I am crossing my fingers that march will be the month of survey too. We should continue to motivate each other, I am so excite and nervous at the same time. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you! = )
