I am looking for friends going through WLS like me it Is hard when you can't talk to anyone that understands

And if you are not a WLS candidate, I don't think you do. Sure it's wonderful to have support people, everybody should-- even if Bariatric Pal is it for you, but unless you have walked in our shoes and on this path, you just can't. Sure you can observe it but you just don't know all the feelings that come with it. Some bad, majority good --but like parenthood the hardest,yet rewarding, thing you can do with yourself. And please believe me, when you,are on here YOU ARE NOT ALONE, we know the struggles, the benefits even the "Oh what have I done to myself?"moments. And the veterans walk in the sunlight of better health and ask us to join them there.[emoji67][emoji68][emoji69][emoji70][emoji13] Sunshine and Smiles my friend.

I’m a newbie too. I will have my final weigh in on 5/2, then my paperwork gets submitted and takes 5-7 days for approval, THEN I will get my surgery date about two weeks from the approval date. I’ve seen the psychologist, nutritionist, had my upper GI ... it’s quite a process for sure. I have been researching, lurking, etc to get as much info as I can. I LOVE seeing before and after pics and hearing about experiences .... then I can picture myself with all this weight gone! If feels too good to be true.

Congratulations

Oh I am annoyed. My insurance approved Friday. They got my surgeon’s approval today. But they have to wait to get a signed copy of the approval before they’re call me to schedule. Seriously? We’re waiting on a signed copy in 2018?
