Monica,

Welcome and congrats on your choice. You are now on what I like to call the Weight Loss Rollercoaster. You will have many highs, and some lows (bumps) on your journey to the operation. But no matter what happens, try to remember it all works out in the end.

Know we're here for you.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom

Hi Monica,

You have a great surgeon!  His office staff is great too.  Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Monica,
I am waiting too.  It seems like forever of a wait since I have been going through a 6 month Dr Supervised diet program as my last insurance requirement.  Fed up with the medications guessing games of my type 2 diabetes and hypertension.  I am so looking forward to not needing those meds once I start loosing.  Glad to have someone in the waiting game to keep in touch with.

Hi Monica,
It is going to be some wild ride for you.  Some lows but mostly great highs.  Very exciting.  Ask lots of questions, give us your grief (rant and rave), let us know how you are doing.  Good luck,
Andrea
