Journey of a thousand steps...

Hi Everyone! My name is Lacy and this is my very first post!  I've been researching WLS for a while now, and I've already had my consult at the Barix Clinics in Ypsilanti Michigan with Dr. Kam.  I have Highmark BCBS and I'm going to begin my six month supervised diet this next tuesday. I am consistenly floored as I read the testimonies of people who have been there and done that.  I look at all the before and after pictures and cannot imagine for a single second what my life would be like if I were one of those success stories.  I am dreaming of the day when my weight is constantly on my mind, and spilling out of my jeans.   I just wanted to let everyone know that you are so brave and courageous, and I admire each of you for your steps towards health and fitness. I'm off on my journey now....Please pray that this next six months would go smoothly with the doctor supervised diet, and that I would be approved!  I'm so nervous about not being approved!  Ack! You all are wonderful!  Any presurgery words of wisdom are appreciated and highly desired!

Good luck on your journey. May it be a smooth and enjoyable ride! Mine had a few bumps, but the one thing I reminded myself was "Don't sweat the small stuff!" Everything will go the way it goes for a reason and keep your chin up no matter where the road may bend. Hugs Kerri
