Hi everyone,
I have been lurking in the background until this point and am amazed at the wonderful support here.
I started on this journey with research in Sept 2009. I Went to my first seminar in Feb. 2010 and now have complete the 6 month medical supervised diet, psych appt, initial surgeons appt, and got my insurance approval letter(on the first try) on Sept 23. Next surgeon's appt is Sept 29 - will start the 2 wk preop liquid diet on Sept 30th and surgery on October 14th!!
I am so excited! The time has just flown by. My goal is to replace all my "meds" with vitamins! LOL
I look forward to the day when i may resolve my sleep apnea, hypertension, high cholesterol and GERD!
Been planning the work for a year and now "working the plan" shifts into "high gear"!
I know i will find the support and inspiration here that i will need to succeed.

Thanks all! I just became an ex-smoker on April 1st, 2010 also, so there is nothing that will stop me now! I know there will be twists and turns, but i know if i keep my eyes in the right direction, I can do this!
Good luck to you also akgirl!
