I got my surgery date!

So after struggling with my weight since high school I made the decision about 1 1/2 years ago to pursue WLS. I researched all the doctors and different procedures and decided on the VSG. My weight is hindering my ability to conceive children and my happiness with myself. I started my journey on Valentine's day 2015 with my WLS seminar. 3 months later, with insurance approval, I have a surgery date, July 22, 2015. I am excited, nervous, and everything in between. I am lucky to say that I have a great support system including my wonderful husband. I am ready to start this new journey in my life and see where it is going to take me. 

That is great newsYou are going to love it. So happy for you.

Congratulations!! My surgery is in a couple of weeks and I have all of those emotions and then some. 

Congrats! I'm a few days behind you, so excited for this new journey. Family support is amazing, I was worried at first that those around me would try to talk me out of it, but their response was total support. Best of luck to you! 

Congratulations on your surgery date.  I am 2 years post op, but I remember those feelings of anticipation and worry as if it was yesterday.  But here I am 2 years later, and I'd do it again in a minute if I needed to.  I went from 385 pounds with a BMI of 60 to 160 pounds and a BMI of 24 in 18 months.  It is just amazing.  You have to make a commitment to follow the program, because it is easy to defeat yourself if you don't.  But if you follow the plan, you can do it.  Its amazing.

best wishes,

Carol
