Hello Everyone,

My name is Misty, I am 5'7 and weigh 262. I never had a weight problem until after a full hysterectomy which I had in my 20's. Over the past 10 years it seemed to sneak up on me. I realized about two years ago and started thinking about wls. After 2 years of failed attempted with several different programs I decided to start the process. I met with a surgeon on 12/8, he gave me a list of things needed which only included labs, upper gi, and psych eval. I have completed all and now just waiting on the surgeons office to submit to insurance (my insurance didn't require a waiting period). So here I am, finding the app (still figuring out the forum format), just joining to be apart of the support system. Was going to upload photos but haven't figured that out yet (should prob wait until after surgery anyway). I joined yesterday and have already gotten fanastic support. Thankful for you guys!

Hi Misty! My name is Katie, it's nice to meet you! Congratulations on your journey and welcome. I am still learning the forum also. I meet with the surgeon and dietitian on the 9th and 10th for my first appointments. Happy that you have found this app, it truly helps seeing real people going through all of the steps together!

Hi Misty! My name is Brandee! I was sleeved on Dec 9th. Please let me know if you have any questions...am happy to help! I am new to the forum as well and learning how to manuever through. =)
