Hi y'all! Im a newbie...It has taken me a few times loggin in to find out where to start but here I am! Im on count down...my surgery is tuesday I cant believe Im actually going to do this. over the yrs in the back of my mind I have thought about WLS but never was directed this route until the past several yrs the weight will NOT come off! no matter what I do. Im hungry even after I eat a full meal. the past 14 months Iv put on close to 50 pds and that is even doing WW...I said hell with this! with several dr's keep telling me my thyroid was WITHIN range I knew something wasnt right. finally insisted on getting referred to endo an sure enuff between US seeing the goiter on it getting biopsy and antibody BW confirmed Hashis..her an my internists with bad GERD and IBS forever they both sent me to WLS here in my area. so from beginning finding out my insurance will pay I started the preocess. its been 3 months an now Im scheduled...it feels like a dream. up till I was 18 I weighing a lil over 100 pds...then with 2 pregnancys an my health going waywire it just kept creeping up.I am 50 now an I refuse to live like this any longer. prediabetic but with insulin resistance my endo suggested to have the sleeve done so here I am..Ive had 15 yrs of thinking about this an with hubby on board Im doing this! my emotions are all over the place. I have 2 shakes a day an a lowfat meal once an a few Snacks..the last 48 hrs its only 3 shakes.. well..thats my story an Im sticken to it best wishes to all...still learning the in an outs on this forum. when I leave messages and get notices I am having a hard time finding which forum its from..Ill figure it out. Ill keep all posted!

That is exciting! I am scheduled on July 16th. I hope your surgery goes well!
