Thank you all for your kind words and know that to me you are all inspiration! May this journey be knowledgable and planning on meeting many great people along the way!

Hi everyone! I am new to the site. I am currently going through the 3 month process with my insurance and hospital weight program before I can have the surgery. I already had my in-take program about 2 weeks ago. I will have my first session on July 7th where I will meet with the registered dietician and go over all the reading material. I know what I have to do but it's the whole process of changing the way I eat that scares me. I have always turned to food to help me cope wether it was dealing with the loss of my mother at 9, stress, depression. I don't have any other way I know of copeing . Unfortunately, my health has declined because of the excess weight and I can't wait to see it go! I'm just here like everyone else and can't wait to get a "new" me back!
