Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading a lot here for about a month. I finally decided to join and post because I know that I'm going to need help in the form of courage and support and most of what I've read here really changed my outlook on sharing weight related issues. I've always been ashamed or embarrassed about my struggle with being overweight. I get that there's a level of security or anonymity in posting on a forum like this, but it still is a big step for me.

Thanks to the group for making this a space to share and support others, and for sharing your stories. I'm at the early stages of being evaluated for WLS and really grateful that so many took the time to share their experiences.

Welcome! I certainly relate to a lot of what you've said...

I hope you find as much support here as I have. It's been invaluable for me. :)

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.
