Newbie...attending Seminar 10/4

[CHOSEN2LIVE 3]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie!! Starting my journey on Thursday with a seminar so I'm new and fresh towards my journey and goal(-:. I want this surgery more than anything. I've been overweight most of my life and it wasn't until I began to develop medical problems(diabetes, kidney problems) that I knew I have to do something about it, and that it was serious. I Want to live!! I have 4 children and I Want to be here for them as long as I can! This is a choice I have made that will effect my life forever and I am truly ready to be a "healthier me!" . I have been looking at all of the post on this forum and I am soooo GLAD that this exist. We all need support in Everything we do and I pray I can Find some support buddies and cheerleaders that will encourage me on my journey too (-:..
