I'm new and just wanted to say "Hey!"

[bobbyswife 862]

I hope to meet some long term friends here as I embark on this super-amazing journey! I have my consultation and meeting with the Dr. and nurse team tomorrow at Gwinnett Bariatric Center (Dr. Robert Richard) and I am THRILLED that my insurance covers the surgery, I've already been pre-certified, I have very little out of pocket, and I could be sleeved in Nov or Dec! So excited, anxious, nervous and everything in between. I am blogging my journey, so if any of you would like to join me along for the ride, maybe we can support each other!

Love and Light!

I am 2 weeks post op. I can answer any questions you may have. It's a struggle at times, but very worth it. Down 30 pounds woo hoo!

I will be having mine after the first of the year. I am taking care of all my preop stuff now. I have to switch insurance plans in order to get the surgery covered. I am looking to make some friends to share the journey with also, people who understand, so we can support each other, laugh, cry..

Welcome I am 4 weeks out and what a ride. Up and down on weight loss but I would not change a thing. Down 30 pounds. I found myself trying to keep up with others on the site. Then my husband said you are you and it will happen. He is being supportive. My one mistake is I have become glued to the scale. Do yourself a favor and try not to fall into that trap.
