Topic: RE: Introducing Myself
Congratulations! It's a scary, exciting, sometimes frustrating ride, but if you're ready to make the change, EVERY STEP IS WORTH IT!
Good luck - hopefully one of the programs will just *click* with you, and you'll be on your way - keep us posted! Ask questions, there are no stupid questions. You will get answers - sometimes conflicting answers, but go with your gut. Seems to me most people just have a feeling about which way to go once they've done their homework.

My very first post....I'm sure you are all very excited to read it, right? *smile*
I decided I should probably create an actual membership here and start reaching out to some community now that I am starting the process. Like everyone else, it has been a long journey getting to this point. Years of dieting and depression and pills and doctors. I don't even know how I got to this point. Well, actually, I do. One bite at a time and some screwy hormones.
Tomorrow I will be going to the first of three "information sessions" that I have scheduled at various clinics. The first one is with Minneapolis Bariatric Surgeons. Next week will be with Park Nicolett and Saint Paul Surgeons. I haven't decided which clinic to go with and figured going to the sessions will give me an idea on how each clinic works and "feels".
I guess that's enough for an introduction, but I wanted to say hello and make myself know.
Have a beautiful evening!

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
