Nice to meet you.. It is nice to know that I am not the only one feeling the exact way. Feel free to add me as a friend. I am definitely here for support and also to be a source of support for other people. Please keep me updated on your journey.

AWESOME!!!!!! I know it is going to go great!!! Congratulations!!!!

That is great!! I know it's gonna go great... Please keep us updated

I am meeting with the nutritionist at the end of the month to get started.. How has it been with the nutritionist so far?

Sorry Kmoore... I got the posts confused I actually meant brittanykins but I still want to add you as a friend if that is ok. Brittanykins... how was your surgery with Dr. Pirello?

Hi Kmoore! I am also having surgery through Dr. Pirrello. I am brand new. I won't see surgery until at least 6 months. How has your experience been with Dr. Pirrello so far? My first meeting with him went very well and he made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. I hope you don't mind if I add you as a friend.

Hey there! I live in Charlotte, NC. Just started the process. I don't have my surgery date. It won't be scheduled until at least 6 months from now. My doctor is Dr. Pirrello. Nice to meet ya!

Well, thanks again for all the encouragement. I look forward to getting to know you better as I embark on this journey.

Thank you! I need all the friends that I can get that understand what I am about to go through. I am located in Charlotte, NC. My family knows that I am having surgery and they are all very supportive. I told one of my best friends and she is supportive but she feels like I could still do it on my own. I haven't told my other best friend yet because she doesn't believe in anything that alters your body. She doesn't even believe in birth control. I am just not ready for the criticism. I just got comfortable with the idea of having surgery.

Thank you... I already know the exercise and eating right part. I just need that extra push and I think this surgery is just what I need

In my many failed attempts at losing weight. I always swore off surgery. I felt like if I had surgery I was a failure. Now I realize that having surgery doesn't mean that I am a failure or that I am looking for a way out. It means that I am taking control of my life. I know there are only good things from here on out.

I am going to check them out but I can already tell from your before pic and your profile pic that you have lost a ton of weight!! That makes me even more excited. You look great!

Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to give more updates :D :D

Hello everyone, So I got a call from my doctor's office yesterday and they called to schedule my upper GI... I know this doesn't seem like much but for me that call put this in reality. I am really going to have surgery in the next 6-7 months. I am really going to achieve my goal of being healthier and happier. I know that to some people it was just a phone call but for me this is the start of my new life. I just had to share my excitement with everyone. Thanks for tolerating my ramblings. Lol!
