Hello,

I have been stalking this site for the past week as I come to terms with the fact that" I'm Tired of being sick and tired". Tired of letting weight hold me back from life and all that it has to offer. You all have been such a source of inspiration and I'm loving reading about your experiences, struggles and triumphs. Thank you all for being so transparent and sharing your stories. Your helping so many people each and every day.

Welcome, I am also new to this forum. Been very nervous about going through with this sleeve surgery. But reading other members experiences, it is helping me to assure I am making the right decision

Thank you all for the warm welcomes. Kathy I am leaning toward the sleeve as well!!! I meet with my PCP on Thursday! Super nervous about it but I have wasted the past 20 years of my life battling my weight. Time to take this leap. I know my insurance bcbs sc requires 6 months supervised weight loss plan with my PCP .... Hopefully we can get the ball rolling this week on diet/ nutrition.
