I started this journey over a year and a half ago and it's been a struggle the whole way. The Bariatrics department at Kaiser Permanente in South San Franscisco is amazing and I'm so thankful to them for supporting me through this journey so far. I don't have a surgery date yet but will hopefully have one soon as I only have a few more pounds to lose before being at my pre-surgery goal. I'm hoping to have it done this summer so I can go back to school on time and be successful this semester. The psychologists are extremely helpful in helping me go to the classes that I needed to help me learn how to manage my stress and giving me tools that I can use to help me from emotionally feeding myself with food and finding other ways to process those emotions. Something finally clicked and I feel like a new person already. I'm excited to keep this journey going when I finally have the surgery
