I'm anxious and nervous first Dr. Appt set up. I had to wait since they're so backed up. A co-worker of mine said enjoy your last meal and get ready for this ride. She gave me this site as a great place to conversate, and join the journey

Welcome!! Don't be scared, it is good! I, also, had to wait, but the wait is okay! Did you d o the seminar, yet? I had lots of online things to fill out before I could schedule my 1st appointment. Then, I had to endure 6 months of preparation appointments. With teh visit to teh nutrionist, and teh appointments, I lost about 25 lbs in the 6 months. It was great kick start for me! Anyway, just wanted to say, "Hi" and welcome to our forum! Karen..aka..kll724

Oh yes I'm so sorry I've already did the seminar today is my first official doctor's appt to basically get my weight and everything else. I've waited 2 months so far to get to this park

Thanks for introducing yourself Karen, I'm Ryan. As you see I just shortly joined. So hopefully I'll get pictures and things to show my journey!

I appreciate it. Just took my before picture today. So the journey is about to begin!

It'll be ok. Stick to this site and you'll get lots of encouragement and information.

Congrats on starting your journey!! I'm not too far into mine; I just received approval from my insurance company a few days ago and let me tell you, that is an amazing hurdle to pass! Good luck with everything and feel free to ask if you have any questions

Congratulations on starting your journey!! I just got my approval a couple of days ago,after waiting a few months. Thank God I reached this point. Just can't wait to start my new life being banded!!! I wish you lots of luck on this wonderful journey!!

Just Pray for the BEST
