Step One tomorrow!

[carriesherdreams 8]

Hello!

I'm excited to start my journey on this forum, I have been reading through posts and you all seem so helpful and encouraging! I am starting step #1 tomorrow by calling to make my initial consultation meeting with the bariatric center. I hope I don't have to wait long for the appointment, I want to get this ball rolling!

I have steadily been gaining weight ever since I was young, it seemed like my dress size grew with me, I was a size 18 when I was 18 yrs old, size 20 at 20 yrs, etc. I am 32 now and am up to a 26/28. I prayed and prayed for a job with insurance and my prayers were answered this year! My insurance had kicked in and I'm not wasting any more time! I have high blood pressure, sciatica, and a fatty liver. I can't walk around a store without having to sit down every so often. I am miserable. I'm hoping and praying for a new lease on life and a great success story I can share!

Congrats on making the decision! And taking the first step! Stick with it. It might seem like a long process but will be well worth it in the end :-)
