Good Luck!

I would definitely take before and after pictures with you. Those really inspire me to lose and finally be in a body I can only dream about. Like the others said, just tell your own story, that is definitely inspirational to connect with someone who has already gone through this and succeeded!

I am not required to do any dieting before I can have my surgery. My doctor did tell me that i do have to weigh less that I did at my appnt on Jan 8th. He said even if it is only 1 pound less that is fine. So I am very happy for that! I have my appnts set up now for my nutritionist visits. I have to do 3 visits and I also have my appnts set up for my nutrition support group meetings. I have to do three of those also. (Each of those I have to do 1x a month, and I have to have them done before my next Dr appnt which is March 26th. My sleep study appointment is set too, I have to go for that on the 29th of this month. I am not looking forward to having that done. The only thing I haven't been able to get an appnt set up for is my Psych eval, but I have to have that done before march 26th also. Hopefully I can get all that done before March 26th, because if I do then we will get my surgery scheduled! I can't wait!

Hey Kimberly1978, how are you feeling? How is everything going?

You look great! So happy for you! I can't wait to get my surgery!

Hello, My name is Karma. I am 44 yrs old and I have just began this wonderful journey. Just had my first appointment this past Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015. Really liked the staff there and the surgeon! I was given all the things I have to do before I can have the surgery. If all goes smoothly, then I should be having my surgery in April... so hopefully, everything goes well! I am super excited to be starting this journey! My mom, my sister, and my brother in law have all had this surgery with great success, and I can't wait to get mine!
