Hi everyone,
I'm Haley, 29 from Vermont (52 BMI). I've spent the last few weeks going on different message boards and web sites being a sponge and soaking in information. I've made different lists and started a "questions to ask" list because I'll probably be asked a lot from the different people I'll meet with "do you have any questions?" I can never think of anything on the spot so I'm preparing myself lol I meet with my PCP in 2 weeks and extremely nervous because she never gets my frustrations with my weight. If she doesn't want to refer me (needed for insurance) then I'd have to switch docs and I'd rather not. I've heard my hopefully soon to be surgeon makes you lose x amount of weight. I hope it's not a lot it took me 5 months to lose 10 lbs. I have a support system, my mom, daughter, a couple friends and my long distance boyfriend. I'm really nervous that I'm getting my hopes up only to not be able to do it for whatever reason and then I'm back to square one. You all seem like a happy and supportive group and I would love to join you all
