Hello

Just taking a moment to introduce myself.  I have been on this forum for a while, mainly lurking and reading.

I currently am on the path to have my surgery in April.  If approved I will be getting the VSG.

Being in month 2 of my 6 month diet change is scary, surreal, and eye-opening.

Welp, I wanted to say hi and I look forward to learning from you guys and being supportive when I can.

  Welcome! 

thanks!!

Welcome to BAF and thanks for coming out of LURK MODE :) Happy New Year & take advantage of the next 4 months or so to make gradually make changes to a healthier you.

thanks Pokerchips.  I am really nervous about all of this.  The first surgeon I was working with denied me because of my mental health history.  That really threw me for a loop.  This was right after I had my tests done to make sure there were no gastrointestinal issue due to my family history.  I really liked the doctor but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

My new doctor I have only seen once and its kind of weird, since the first doctor, I probably saw at least three times before I started with the nutritionist.

I think my biggest fears are that 1. I won't be approved and that means continued pain.  or 2. I will not pick the right procedure and I will be struggling and regretting.

Alot to think about.

Welcome to the forum. It's a new year and a new day for you. Enjoy every moment of the journey to the new you.
