Hey Hey! Nice to meet you! I did the exact same thing actually.... 2 years ago I wanted surgery but didn't go through with it.... then gained 40lbs... and here I am now, all banded. Everyone comes to their conclusions at their own pace. I hope to see you at one of the coffees some day!!
Congrats on being ready! It's sad that we have to get to such a point, but I thank GOD for this WLS - once I read up on it and how it works, something in my head just clicked. THIS was my answer. THIS explained why none of the other diets worked well enough or long enough!
Keep coming back, we'll cheer you all the way! And the coffee get-togethers are fantastic, too. There is so much support here for all of us to keep our perspective and our priorities in place.
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Welcome back! I think that it is great that you are able to know what you need to be successful in living the rest of your life. I too had Health Partners and really enoyed the phone counseling sessions. They do try to space the sessions out 2 weeks, but I had my last two appointments moved up because my surgery date was before the date they were originally set for. The book and tools they send you (food log and pedometer) are very helpful and you get to pick which sections you want to focus on it really helped me to prepare for the surgery. This is one of the best places to find support in all the steps on this journey so keep coming here and share your good and bad times because we will cheer for your successes and help you to dust off when you fall. Good luck and hold on tight cause it is a wild ride! ~Nicole
