Greetings... I am new here also... my surgery is not for a couple months. I am American Norweigen.... second generation in USA. Best of luck to you on your WLS journey!

Congrats on your early success!

Congrats on your journey!! you are an inspiration to me.... I am 53 a granny and have several health issues which have convinced me to have WLS. thank you for sharing.

Hi... I am brand new here also. I start my 12 weeks of education classes nov 3rd and then surgery a couple weeks later... so early 2015. I also a excited, scared and cautious, but grateful for a second chance at life.

Greetings... just getting started on this journey after being overweight all of my life. I am 53 yr old single granny raising three grandkids, two are under two...lol. Yes, I am crazy. I never thought I would actually be doing this.. WLS. But I am blessed to have qualified and been approved so far. I have Kaiser insurance and as of now I am scheduled to begin the 12 weeks of required education classes Nov 3rd. I have had and have lots of appts and requirements to meet the next three months. I am scared, excited and very overwhelmed with it all right now. I am thankful at a chance for a new life , where I can be more mobile and in less pain. I work part time as a teacher and am wondering how long I need to take off after surgery? I have lots of questions but they can wait... glad to be here.

WEll, after the reactions I got from my sister and others I don't think I will tell many folks. My grown children are all supportive and that is good enough for me. I will wait and see 'who' needs to know.

Hi Robin... I am a brand newbie here.... just getting ready to attend the 12 week education classes required... and much of what you said in original post I mirror...lol. I have many of the same questions and am stoked to be on this journey. Best of luck to you.

hi... brand newbie here and I have the same question... don't see my surgeon til the end of Oct. It is on my list of questions for her.

You are probably in surgery now... praying all goes well! God Bless.
