Hello everyone. My name is Amy & I have just strated the process. I have been to one overview class & had orientation on Sunday.

Pending approval, I hope to get a call to see the surgeon within 2 weeks. I am nervous, excited & unsure of what to expect.

The thought of surgery TERRIFIES me. I am definetly not the person who is looking for a 'quick fix' I am looking for something that will change my lifestyle. And help me to enjoy a more quality life.

I tend to say I am overweight by 'default' LOL Because I do eat healthy & workout. I didn't get this way on junk food, or laziness. So that alone makes me wonder if this will even work for me.

I weighed in on Sunday at 277.7...OMG I can't believe I am typing that *ponders backspacing*

We were told at orientation that we needed to find a support group before our surgeon visit. My initial thought was I didn't need to. However with a 1/2 way not so sure not so supportive boyfriend, I think it is best. I already found comfort in reading many stories on this site.

I guess that's all for now!! Good luck to all!

Amy

Welcome to lbt, Amy! Everybody needs support at some point! It really helps having people who have been thru this to share with. Good luck!
