Newbie (kinda!)

Thank you shrinkingfatchick! I have been doing research for 6 months now. Too much reading can be nerve wrecking hearing about failures. Battling with weight my whole life success has to be the only option.

You said it correctly 'success is the only option'. Keep that mind set - no matter what your decision with WLS! I would like to encourage you to check out YouTube too. I found a lot of answers to my questions there and found there were questions that I hadn't even thought to ask. Good luck!!

Wow you in missouri!

I am! Who was your surgeon?

Guess if I would have re-read thread I would have known this! )

Well... I attended my seminar yesterday and am even more excited! Tomorrow I say good bye to pop and coffee..(I have cut down to one a day already).. And will begin replacing one meal a day with a Protein shake. Should have a call early in the week to set up my consults with the dietician, psych, and other tests. I have to attend a support group before surgery so that is how I will spend my valentines night! Lol!

Ready to start my journey!

Well, I had my consultation with Dr Lusco and it went well.....since we have a history (he removed my gall bladder and did my GI scope) the appt was only about 45 minutes long. On to the next step!!!
