Hello everyone,

This is my first post on here so I thought I would introduce myself. It seems like my journey has been a lifetime ... I have struggled with my weight all my life. Lose some re-gain even more than I lost... I have done every diet known to mankind with the last attempt doing the Optifast diet... and as usual, no weight loss. So I started researching wls.... had my initial consultation on July 14th and with help from Dr. Nunn at Barix Clinics decided to go with the sleeve. Surgery is set for October 31st... I'm so excited to get this done... the thought of actually being healthy is so exciting! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Cora

Thank you ... it's nice to be able to talk to people that understand, that's been there. To be able to show your excitement without being judged by nay sayers on wls. Again thanks, will keep you posted on things

Hi

I'm a newbie today too. My name is Dawn and I live in North Carolina. It is great to be able to hear from others all the same and crazy things that I am feeling and going through. I have only told 4 people I'm not sure if I should be ashamed or excited. I just received my approval letter this week so I am waiting for a date, I have to say this insurance process went a lot faster than I thought it would.

I look forward to hearing all your stories, successes and tips. I'll be 50 in April and I want to tuen it as a new me! Thanks for listening

Hello Dawn and welcome! ! You should be excited because this surgery if you're anything like me could save your life. I haven't told anyone except my husband and 2 children.... but only because of not wanting to be judged. Good luck on your journey, keep me posted... we can do this !! Again welcome and God Bless
