Hello Everyone,
Allow me to introduce myself;
I am about undergo the journey that many of you have already taken. I am scheduled for VSG on August 20. I am feeling all the emotions across the board, but mostly excited. 
A little about myself, I am 38, single mother of *groan* 3 teenaged daughters and a 911 dispatcher. I love my life, except for my size, so I am changing it!!  I hope to start a new phase in my life, with a pretty strong support system and a positive attitude, I hope this journey will be fairly smooth.

I look forward to making some new friends and hearing more of all your stories :)

 Hi there and welcome!!  Sounds like you have your hands full but also hopefully they will be a handful of support.  This is a great place for support and if you just need a sounding board.  Hang on.  You are in for the ride of your life!!!

Welcome.  It's been over 3 years since I had my surgery and I am so glad I did. I'm a lot healthier and like what I see in the mirror now.
