Hi. newbie from tennessee

Hi everyone. I just went thru a new patient seminar last night. Thank goodness I found this site before I went there. I'm more confident of my decision from what I've read here than from the Dr. talking last night. I'm still scared and very, very nervous about all this. I will find out on Monday about my insurance and all that. I've been doing LA weight loss and curves in the past year, so I'm hoping that will count to any 6 month thing I might want to do.

This site is a hugh blessing to me. To know that I'm not the only one scared and freaking out is hugh. It has also shown me how in control my food addiction is. A real eye opener to me.

I'm glad that I can come here and have real people answer all the questions I have or the things I'm going thru.

Mollie,

Congratulations on making the decision to make your future a healthy one! This site is a great place for information and support. I think at some point in this journey we have all been confused and afraid. Just educate yourself as much as you can and if you have any questions, ask them! Take care, good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks. I have to say that at the seminar I told one of the nurses about the site. She didn't know about it, and was banded herself. If I may ask. how do you get the "stuff" like the weight loss thing and the stuff where you can record the dates? For some reason I'm feeling that this is important to me to check things off.
