Yesterday would have been my mom's 65 birthday--- she passed almost 5 years ago from ovarian cancer. I promised her the month before her passing that i would get healthier. Although much time has passed, and every diet tried since then......yesterday the Drs office called and said I was approved! Now waiting for the next step and hopefully a surgery date !! Feel like mom sent me a small gift on her day !!!

Hi there it is nice to meet everyone, I am new here, in need of advice from the experts who have had the surgery. Also looking for someone who is also pre op, so we can discuss feelings and thoughts though this journey of weight loss. My surgery is scheduled for September 6 and honestly I am getting very nervous, I have a small support system at home. I am not metioning my surgery to a whole lot of people, fear of negative feed back, which I really am not in the mood for. I am a 47 year old single mother of an 8 year old daughter who is my world. I want to be healthier for myself and my daughter, we have lots to do.

This is my first night on the site and your thread was the first I read. Best wishes as you move ahead into this new chapter! I am hoping to start a new chapter soon myself!!
