Hello My New Support Team,

I am a 44 (45 in days) year old first time mommy ready to get serious about her weight. I am 5'7" and last time I weighted around 240. I am sure it is more by now. I have got to do the six months I am sure before my insurance will cover it. But the good news is my hubby is supportive (just recently) and even chatting about having it done himself. I just want this site to be extra support for me and keep me focused of the main goal.......this is to loss weight and be there for the daughter (6 months) that we are in the process of adopting. Looking forward to posting as I go on this journey.

Hello and welcome to LBT! That is great to hear that your husband is so supportive of you and your surgery.... That will make your journey that much easier. That is wonderful to hear about the 6 month old baby girl I wish you lots of luck with all that is to come.

You picked a great site for support, questions and answers! The middle of July will be about a year that I started on my journey to try and get this done. My appointment for surgery was made in April, and I thought July would never get here. But......here it is the end of June, and I start my 2 week all liquids on July 10.

Anyway I'm so thankful for having found this site. I love just logging in, there seem to be soo many people who have the same fears,qustions,concerns about everything that I do.
