July 7th!!

I have been going through the process to get approval for surgery since April, and only 6 days after my paperwork was submitted, I got the call today that I have been approved!! I wasn't expecting to hear back so soon, but I was very excited. I am so ready for this...I'm at 315 lbs now..my highest. But, I've been a big girl since I was very young. I'm 29 now, and I'm ready to start really living my life! This weight can't hold me back any longer!! There are so many things that I want to do. Thanks to everyone out there for all of the advice and encouragement. I'm learning a lot on here and getting some good ideas. My surgery is scheduled for July 7th, so that means I have to start my 2-week pre-op liquid diet this Monday! 

I am so excited for you, we will discover our new selves together as my surgery is also July 7th 

That's awesome, Eppsgrl270! Congrats!
