Hey y'all, I got the call!!!

I'm so excited. I go for my first appointment 3/20. I'm going to see the nutritionist and have my psych eval, as well as watching a film???? I'm trying to keep myself even, but it isn't working too well. I am so ready to change my life and really feel this is the answer for me. I know it will be hard and a lot of work, but this time I feel like there is real hope. I have learned so much here that I think I'm going in with my head on straight and well informed in my decision. So if I act a bit goofy, I did do my homework.

Congrats! That is awesome. Lots of well wishes for your journey!!

Thanks Texgirly, I have to admit to being a bit nervous. I've been waiting so long to get started I feel like I'm stuck in starting position and need a good kick to get moving. I'm going to be leaning on this site a lot since I live in a tiny town and there isn't a support group nearby or at least driving distance at 3.50 a gal. I do have a friend that is going in for a gastric bypass about the same time I'll go in for my surgery, so that is helpful. Guess we may have to start our own support group. :biggrin2: I feel like I can do anything now!!!

hugs...cat:thankyou:

You are on your way! Being somewhat nervous just means you are being realistic. Congrats!

Good for you Cat! Keep up your enthusiasm, it will help you over the rough spots. Good luck and keep us posted!! :mad2:

hey Cat - Elisa and Becky are right - nervous is ok and expected. You are about to make some major changes in your life (that is where my nerves came from) and it is surgery. But it is worth it. Tomorrow will be officially 2 weeks since my band and I am down by 15 lbs. already. I am expecting that to slow some as I enter the mushies phase. I started back at the gym last week and will continue that, so a few more calories will feel better.

Can't wait to see your progress too!

Congrats!!
