My first appt is next Friday and I'm soooo excited! I've been overweight since age 10, obese since 18, morbidly obese since 21. Now, at 31 and with a BMI of 45, it's time. The things I'm most looking forward to (in no particular order) are playing with my kids (ages 2 and 4), riding a bicycle again, riding roller coasters, not having to pretend that I'm afraid of flying when really I'm just embarrassed, etc etc etc. My wife is incredibly supportive, but it's so nice to have this forum. I've been trolling for a week and decided today is the day I'm joining the party. Woot wooooot!

Hi Cons, and welcome to the boards. Its great to see so many new faces. Taking the first step in this journey is always the hardest, but once you place that foot down the rest comes naturally.

I hope your first appointment goes very well for you.

Here you will find alot of people who will answer questions, ask questions, give support, need help, scared, sad and lonely and it is so great that we all come together as one in each others needs.

I hope we can make you feel at home here while you are mapping your destination. Best of Luck!!

I'm really happy for you, but slightly disappointed this thread isn't about the greatest boy band from my childhood.
