Hi all!! This seems like a great board!!

Hi all~~ I just wanted to say Hi to all of you and hope things are well... This is my first time to this board and I will be on here a lot hopefully! OK a little about me... I am pre-op with surgery hopefully in November... I have 5 weeks left of my 6 month diet and that hasn't gone so well... gained weight, lost weight, then gained again... just yo-yoing and I am nervous that I am not going to get my approval... ... I have all the other requirements done and this is the last one I needed... ugh!! I have been trying for almost 2 yrs to get this surgery and quite honestly running out of patience, hope, and faith... but it's people here on these boards that keep me going and remind me to keep the faith... I have a pretty up-to-date profile if you would like to read it... so anyways, this is me introducing myself and saying hello!! Love and pixiedust~~ amber

hi amber welcome to the 20's board. I went and graduated from U of Pitt but I am from the Philly area. You will make it through the diet and get your approval you just have to stay positive and work as hard at it as you can. When you slip, stand up and brush off the crumbs and try your best again. Its tough I know but you can do it!! Hope to be talkin to ya!! sarah

Thanks for the support Sarah!! Love and pixiedust~~ amber
