Starting My Journey To A New Me!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I joined this group 2 weeks ago and love it thus far, there are so many supportive people here. I have considered getting the lap band for years, I have been yoyo dieting for 15 years, I now have a 9 month old son and have decided I need to get the weight off and keep it off so that I am here for the long run for him. He was my motivation to move forward with the process. Im also done with the joint pain, fatigue and everything else that comes with being overweight. Years ago it was for vanity, but now Im doing it for a healthier me.

I went for my initial consultation at True Results-Houston 2 weeks ago, I have completed all of my insurance requirements and just waiting on all the paperwork to be submitted to the insurance BCBSTX which I hope happens this week. I am hoping for a December surgery date, because Im ready to get my new life started plus I've paid my maximum out of pocket so everything is covered at 100% which is always a perk. So Im keeping my fingers crossed. Im nervous, excited, scared all at the same time. I was ALL excited before the ball got rolling, now that its rolling Im nervous. Im a Nurse Practitioner so sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

So I just wanted to introduce myself instead of just lurking around. Good Luck to everyone.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
