18 lbs off and running

 Hello everyone. So I am in my second month of tests and doing what my insurance is requiring before approval of my surgery. I hit a snag when I failed my stress test. It was so frustrating and I felt so defeated that I couldn't do the test for the entire time. I have it rescheduled for the 16th so hopefully the next one will be better. 
I have been reading so many peoples stories on here and am amazed how different peoples lives are after the WLS.
I hope I don't hit another snag.
I weighed this week and have already lost 18 lbs. The nutritionist said that my doctor had only requested that I lose 10 lbs before the surgery. I guess that is not to bad.

Good job, it's a great way to start your journey! Hope the next stress test is far less.....stressful! ;)

Good Luck Tony.  I know it's trying to keep jumping through all the hoops, but it sure is worth it.  18 lbs is terriffic!  Keep up the good work and good luck with your next stress test.

Good Luck Tony,
you will do just fine! although your stressed now.. it will be more than worth it when you reach the other side!

 This whole thing is a little surreal. The hope of getting my life back will be rewarding. I just hope I make it thru the process. Insurance is a bit taxing but necessary. Thanks for your kind words.

The more you learn before the easier it will be.

 That's what I am slowly figuring out. It is amazing that so many people are so supportive.
