And the journey begins 1.18.13

Hello there! So I guess this is where my journey begins... Back in August 2012 I was told by my doctor that my BMI qualifies me to have bariatric surgery. I was so excited to hear such great news, well to me it was great news. All my life I have been overweight and tried many, many times to lose weight with not much success. It took me 5 months to actually pick up the phone and set up an appt to join the first seminar about WLS. I have read so many postings on here (peeping since November) and watched many videos on YouTube and read a bunch of materials online that I've decided to go for it. I have my 1st class on February 8th to learn more about gastric bypass. I have to say that I am very excited to start this journey and thanks to many stories on here I am very much comfortable with moving forward. Please stay tuned as MY journey unfolds.

Xoxo, PB&J's MaMa

Welcome

Congrats on your new journey this will be the best decision you have ever made.

Don't let this scare you but this will also be the hardest thing you have ever done.

The weight will fall off after surgery then you will hit a stage where you won't lose any weight for days or weeks no mater what you do. This will pass.

There's more advise I could give but if you have been reading post you already know most if it. If not just ask there are a lot of very smart people here that are living the life after WLS.

Good luck on your new journey and keep us posted
