New here, just got surgery date

Just wanted to introduce myself really quick...my name is Holli, I'm a 27-year-old mother of two kiddos (an 8-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter), wife to my military hubby of nine years, and full-time (almost done!) student majoring in Human Services. My surgery date is June 17, 2009.

Okay, that was a mouth full!

Anyway, I am currently 5'4" and 233.5 lbs (my heaviest weight). Growing up I actually never had any weight issues and was fairly thin. I got pregnant when I was 19 and have struggled with my weight since then. I have very painful arthritis due to a birth defect in my feet (an extra bone in both feet) and have had three surgeries. I am extremely excited to get the extra weight off of my feet and lessen the pain in them! That's what I'm most excited for.

Look forward to chatting with all my fellow June surgery pals! 

CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME!!!!!!!

You will love it here!  Everyone is so helpful and really care about helping you get through everything.

My name is Ms.Princess I pray that everything goes well for you.

GOD BLESS YOU

Yay for your surgery date!!  I'm the day after you   I wish you the best of luck!  Are you getting the band? 

NO I'M HAVING THE SLEEVE DONE.

CONGRATULATIONS HONEY! 
 MAY FATHER GOD BLESS YOU AND BE WITH YOU ALWAYS IN JESUS NAME I PRAY THIS.

I lived in Altus a long time ago.  My ex was stationed at the Altus Air Force Base.  I have the same issue with my feet.  Have had it my whole life.  I am so glad you are doing this while your young.  I am doing it at  55.  I wish I had this option when I was your age.  I am having the RNY.  Good luck with your journey.
