Hey everyone!! I'm new here. I've started my journey at the end of January. Paperwork got sent in July 30 & I got called with my approval on Aug 12. My surgeons office called me on August 14 with a date. September 30th!!!!!! To tell you a little about myself I'll start by saying I'm 29, female, married with 4 children. I've been overweight since the birth of my first child almost 12 yrs ago and just gained since then. I currently weigh 307 with my highest being 312. I'm terrified of having surgery, I've never had any surgeries before and I tend to panic and have anxiety so I really hope I can do this! Any words of encouragement will help!
