Almost There

[JennWeb 28]

Growing up, I was never overweight. I was actually very fit and athletic. When I had kids, everything changed. No matter how much I worked out or dieted, I couldn't loose weight. I tried everything. All the latest diets, prescriptions, workout equipment, tests, and nothing worked. At first I didn't want to do the surgery. After a lot of research and talking to my husband , I decided to do a consultation. It was great information but I still wasn't sure but figured I could continue with the process and can change my mind if I wanted to. The truth of the matter is, I've been scared as I think everyone is at some point in this process. But after finding this site I feel a lot better about my choice to do this and I have my last appointment before being scheduled for surgery on 1/25. Excitement still hasn't hit me, but I think once I get passed the surgery I will start to be excited. Thank you all for sharing your stories. It truly helps us newbies.

Welcome! I'm pretty much a newbie too. My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 23rd. Maybe yours will be close to that date too.

[JennWeb 28]

I hope it's soon. I'm so nervous. Good luck.

Good luck JennWeb. My surgery is on the 28th. I'm right there with you!

[JennWeb 28]

Good luck MsLeann.

How are you feeling Jennweb?

[JennWeb 28]

Still waiting to hear back. How are you feeling?

[MsLeann 7]

I'm sorry. I thought your surgery was scheduled for the 25th. Just had mine on the 28th.

[JennWeb 28]

No, that was my last doctors appointment. Waiting on the insurance approval still. How did yours go? How are you feeling?

I'm doing good. Went to the gym for the 1st time yesterday. Just walked on the treadmill, but still. Tired of the liquid diet though.
