Hey all,

Recently joined after reading many others postings. I started down this path for a new direction in my life this past August and am hoping have my surgery in December. I want to thank all of you who have shared your experiences and information. I have found this site to be very helpful especially when I am feeling apprehensive about the entire process.

Welcome, I too, am fairly new to this! I also started my journey in August and shooting for the end of December. I have 3 1/2 pounds left to lose to get to surgery weight, and a few test and behavioral classes. Your biggest "tool" for your success is definatly this website. Everyone is very kind and know what's going on! Keep us up to date and good luck!
