My life is an open book. I have told work, friends and family and have received nothing but support. I plan on using all of them post op as a huge support system. I feel very lucky.

I think we all have to be careful if the naysayers. Somewhere in a tiny place in our brain is a negative thought and these people can pull the trigger on it. They only mean well, but I am learning to stop listening. (Very hard)

I have first surgeon appointment September 2. Very excited to start process. I am sure I want Roux en Y. I am 5'10" and weigh 300lbs. I need to lose 130 -150 lbs. I just can't wait to get the ball rolling. This is a great platform for posting the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes us understand that, while we are starting on a great journey, there will be a few bumps in the road. And that's ok. Love reading the posts.

My husband and I had 2 exit seats on plane for more leg room. Neither of us could get are arses in the seat. Steward had 2 go out and find us seats (not together), a cute little dance troupe sat next to me, AND I had to ask for a seat belt extender. Talk about a double vodka moment (jk, lol). Yes, I need this surgery.

Welcome. I go to my seminar Monday and already received oodles of support and great advice and info. -
Iliterally just decided that this was right for me. I have always had really good self esteem and told myself that this was for health reasons. But, man, since I have decided to go forward, all of a sudden I feel fat and ugly and all I can think k about is how good I'll look skinny. I thought finally deciding would make me feel good, but, fat it is!
