New to the boards
Hello everyone! I wanted to introduce myself quick. I am new to this journey and new to the boards. I am anxious and hopeful all at the same time. I have five children and would love to be able to play with them. I feel like I am not being the best mother that I can be at this weight. I have a long way to go and I am so happy that I found this board. I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Welcome Chris!! You will really enjoy the board here~ I know I do! Everyone is great and supportive~and willing to give you the proverbial kick in the rear when it is needed! I know that I am healthier than I have been in so many years I don't recall. I am 32 and I am just finally weigh less than what I was when I was 14(which was 245) SO I know for me health wise I am in a far better than I was before. I wish you all the best on your journey!!
Thank you all for the nice welcome. I am working with Fairview Southdale weightloss center. Anybody use that center? Which doctor would you recommend? I am just starting the process, so I haven't gotten to the point where I pick a surgeon yet. I am going to the sleep center next week to see if I have sleep apnea. If it is positive, then I can skip the 3 month monitored diet. I have the psychiatric eval next month. What can I expect from that? It is so nice to find a place where everyone has been where I am at. Thanks for any input you can give me.

Welcome. You will be so glad you are doing this when it is all said and done. Being there for your children is the best reason and I am so glad I did. 103 pounds gone in 6 months, and I can do things with her I never could! Hold on, cuz the ride can be bumpy, but stick with it, use us as a sounding board, and you will be just fine!!
Welcome to the board. This is the place to be! Everyone is super suportive. My husband had his surgery today and Iwill be having mine on the 28th! The journey is actually very fast. Hold on tight! Good luck to you and no matter the question, you can ask it here. Lynn
