Hello Everyone

Hi everyone!

I am the newbie 'round these parts!  I have given thought to WLS the last 6 months or so.  Today when I went for my yearly physical, my Dr. mentioned it and wants to see me in two weeks to discuss options and set me up with a consultation.

So here I am, doing my research and some soul searching.  I know why I am overweight.  I love food, or more specifically, the taste.  And exercise is near the bottom of my list of things to do. 

I am hoping to overcome my obstacles and move on a happier and heathier person.  I am glad to have found this place, and hope to share, be honest with you (and with myself) and learn.

Welcome to the forum and I am glad you found us here. Are you sure you love the food or the way it makes you feel? I know for me it make (made?) me feel better and happy? or at least I thought it did. I have been learning that other things that make me happy.

Glad you are here and let us know if you have any questions

Welcome! Get that consult underway! You don't have to make a decision about the surgery until the actual date & believe me, you will have lots of time! I waited 37 months for a consult, then another 13 months for a surgery date! I had surgery Nov/07, have lost 168 lbs & wouldn't change this decision for the world! I now eat to live, rather than live to eat!!! I challenge myself everyday to try new activities & have never felt better about myself! Go for it!!!
