I am a new member but have been stalking this site for quite a while now. Just found out today that my health insurance has approved my Roux en Y surgery. They are getting me a initial surgical appointment now and I will hopefully meet him next week.
I have been on a supervised weight loss plan since March and have lost 35 pounds. In September I started my insurances mandatory Healthy Weigh program that is every Tuesday for 20 months. This site has been a big help for my decision and I cant wait to start this next phase. So excited I am actually giddy today! yay me.
That is wonderful! It brightens my day when someone else gets to start their journey.

I am happy to see the EVERY TUESDAY FOR 20 MONTHS program. I've never heard of it before, by I would think it would be helpful in getting through the major transitions - post-op to weight loss to maintenance and long-term - and dealing with the ups and downs that happen along the way. I am 10 months out and get a lot out of my monthly support group meetings.
Yay you!
