Newbie sort of.....
I've been a lurker over here on BAF for a while. I just wanted to say hi to everyone and to introduce myself. My name is Monica and I'm 42. I thought about having WLS a few times before then chickened out. All of the sudden I did some soul searching and the rest just fell into place. I have my final classes next week and all info should be submitted to my insurance co by the end of the month. I'm waiting to have VSG. I have Fibromyalgia and it kicks me allot of the the time. My knees and back hurt all the time. I'm hoping that when I loose weight, that my knees won't hurt so bad. I was to be able to tie my darn sneakers without my face being all red and being out of breath. I want my over all health to be better. Yes I want to look better too, but that is the secondary reason. Health is primary. I'm married and have 3 boys at home. 18, 16 & 12 so you know they keep me BUSY!!!!
Hello Monica!! Welcome to BAF. It's ok to lurk (I do it sometimes myself) but it's always good to meet new people. Wow, 3 boys, I know that they must keep you busy. I'm glad that you decided to make this journey. I am six months out today and I don't regret one thing about my journey thus far. It's a process and it's worth it!!
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11
Welcome and glad you made a decision to better your health!!
