Newbie here!:)

[Scarolann 2]

I have been lurking on here for the past month & thought its time to join!!! I like reading all the encouraging helpful posts.

I started my appointments back in December & all my documentation was sent in to the ins company last Thursday! My date is set for March 28 BUT I could possibly reschedule for Mar 21 IF I get my final approval this week..needless to say Im really stressed:( I left a message for am & I hope she still calls today. My last apt I had gained 4lbs so Im kicking myself & I hope & pray they don't get finicky!

Im so ready, I have been doing the liquid portion here & there....not full speed ahead until I get the day in stone but today Im having a hard time & just want to eat eat eat.

My reasons for doing the surgery beside the weight which has been a struggle all my adult life..the usual, I lose 20 lbs, gain it back etc.....I am an avid exerciser, I LOVE working out!! I tend to get obsessed with it at times. BUT I have a knee issue, I have had 4 surgeries & I will be faced with a replacement some day if I don't lose weight & keep it off. Also, I have high blood pressure (1 med), high cholesterol (2 meds) & I am borderline diabetic. I really hoping for a complete lifestyle change & I cannot weight!! In fact, I haven't bought any clothes in months because I want to buy a smaller size:)

Anyway, I think you will see me here, asking questions, seeking advice & sharing my progress etc.

Im excited to be a part of this group!!!

I am also a new fellow lurker

I am working on getting a loan since my insurance does not cover weight loss surgery. I am shooting for September to be the month I change my life. I also have a knee injury and it is the main reason I decided to try weight loss surgery. I just want to be able to do my job as well as I used to before the injury. Good luck to you Scarolann!
