Greetings everyone! I'm a married mother of three (boys). I'm currently in what I guess is the clearance process. My initial consult was 1/17/14. I've been cleared by my surgeon and nutritionist and need just one more visit with my psychologist which is currently 3/10/14. Pending my surgeons schedule I'm told my surgery date could be no layer than early April. Like many others, I've been on the weight loss roller coaster for years. I lose 20-30 lbs then regain plus a few after each attempt. Currently, I don't have any health issues, but do have a family history which coupled with my weight is becoming a concern for me. I'm not sure what else to share, other than the fact that I'm excited to have found this platform with so much support and information. I look forward to meeting new people, sharing stories and supporting others while on this journey.

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone....I'm so excited about this journey in my life. Looking forward to being healthy and the possiblity of being able to easily shop off the rack in a store! (LOL)
