Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to all of this... I've looked into WLS for years, but never had the money (or family support) to do it. Somehow, after the 60-minutes special the other week, I have both... yay!!! Anyway... my primary care dr gave me the name of the surgeon she wants me to see- he operated on her sister. I'm scheduled to go to his seminar on May 7... can't wait!!! 9 more days... Oh, and I'm 24... bmi 46... can't wait for it to be gone!!! I know it'll be a tough journey, but w/ all my family members being so supportive, that'd have to make it easier :) Thanks for reading! :)

That's great that your family is supportive of you! It makes a huge difference when you have people in your corner. Speaking of which, welcome to our little corner of OH. I'm glad you found us.

Thanks!!!! It feels good to be here :) I've successfully read 5 WLS books from yesterday until today... I don't know if that's exactly something to be proud of or not, BUT I feel more educated :)
