Newbie to this journey

[Mom's Epic Journey 1]

I had my intake appointment on 7/31. My surgery is planned for November-December as long as I stay on task.

I've struggled with my weight since 13 years old, now I'm 51 and still struggling. My PCP suggested the sleeve and I'm really excited.

I have 2 teenagers graduating next year and I want to feel good! I'm tired of not being able to lose weight. No matter how hard I try, I can't lose more than 20 pounds.

After my initial appointment I feel excited and positive. It's like I know that the end result will be life changing and I'm ready to begin my journey.

I'm looking forward to meeting other pre-sleeve people and I wish everyone luck.

You got this! WE all have and are struggling and totally understand. I am waiting for my surgery date and they say Sept/October. So I too am hoping I continue to lose while I am in the process of getting a date. With Thyroid issues it's like no matter what I do the scale isn't moving at all. I have two boys, one high schooler and one entering Kindergarten. Sooo....trust I understand. Continue to stay positive and remember that the end result will be life changing. Wishing you the best of luck as well.

Hello! I just had my consult visit yesterday and I'm sooooo excited to be on this journey. I've been planning this for 10yrs! I just really wanted to wait until I was done having children. So now at 44 y/o and 6 kids....safe to say I'm done! So now its just focusing on all the surgical clearance appts and meeting my pre-op wt loss goal. Wishing you luck as well.
