Jennifer, Sounds like you have a good plan in place. Surgery will always be here for you when the time is right. Good luck with school and your future. Please keep in touch with us here. Take care, Amy

Good luck to you Jennifer! This is a site for everybody, not just those seeking surgery. It's a support group for anyone who suffers from obesity. I hope you'll stay in touch with us and let us know how school is going, although you'll be busy with school! Again, congratulations on beginning school!

Good luck in school and I agree with others. Keep in touch and jump on the board any time you want. You can still be collecting evidence and info for future times. Sounds like you are a very smart person and know what you want. I wish I had been that all together at your age. We are here when you need us. Carol

Jennifer, good luck. You are right, as long as you are going to wait, you might as well work on your 6 month physician supervised diet. I hope all goes well for you. steve

Jennifer, Sounds like a good plan to me! Weight loss surgery isn't going anywhere and we all will still be here for when you need us! I hope school goes good and please dont hesitate to continue and post! MICHELLE
