Welcome to the boards. You will get so much support on here. I haven't scheduled up my surgery yet but will be going through Dr.Snyder in Denver. It is so exciting to be working towards getting a new lease on life isnt it? Anyway, welcome again and best of luck in your journey!

I'm thinking it's a busy time for all...maybe we just set a place and time and whoever can show...that'd be great!

Hello everyone! As my topic says I am new here and somewhat new to forums so I tend to have problems with posting. Anyway I am just starting my journey. The prospect of weight loss surgery was only recently brought to my attention as the result of a fall from my horse and the resulting trip to the ER. I have struggled with my weight for more years than I care to remember and gone through too many diet plans to count, all of course without results. So here I am, I have had my first consult with Dr. Dickinson in Fort Collins, I tentatively have a date of January 13, 2009 and will have the psych eval and the nutrition consult on the 25th. It has been a very interesting few weeks, to say the least! I first started serous inquiries in September and fully expected to be spending the next 12 months at least jumping through hoops and doing all sorts of new tricks to convince the Insurance company to go along with me, but for some reason just when I think there is a new obstacle, it seems to get taken care of and I am suddenly on the road to a whole new life. Almost like it was meant to be and someone is telling me that it is the right thing to do. Funny how life works out in the long run. Anyway my dear friend Damia told me about this site, she had her surgery over 5 years ago and has never looked back. I am looking forward to talking to others who are getting ready for the surgery and those who are on the other side of it!
