I can't believe this is going to happen.

I have wanted this for a long time and just last month I found this great opportunity to get this surgery for the fraction of the cost. My very first visit was late July and now I am set for mid September. I am so scared and excited that I just couldn't sleep so I found this app. I have read many of your guy's stories and I am so lucky that this process hasn't been as hard. Any tips for me?

Welcome to the group and the start to your new life. My tip would be follow the docs instructions and you will succeed. I would also say write down your dreams and goals. It is such a great feeling to cross off your goals when you reach them. Finally don't get wrapped up in the numbers. You will go insane if you only measure your success by what the scale says. Find other ways to measure you weight loss. For example I would measure it by how much of my feet I could see in the shower when I looked down. At the start of my journey I could not see them at all. Now I can see all the way to my ankle.

Thank you so much. I feel so excited and am so ready for all of this. My main goals are being more comfortable in theaters as the seats squish my hips, to not ne scared to sit in any chair with arms, to not need a seat belt extender on flights, to like photographs of my body, to get married to my fiance, and one day have children in a body that can best nuture them.
