Please introduce yourself:

- where are you in the process (are you learning about VSG, scheduled for surgery or post-op)?
- what are your goals with WLS?
- something about yourself, your hobbies, etc?

My name is Brenda.  I am currently scheduled for a revision from lap-band to VSG on Nov. 30, with Dr. Ganta.

I have a few goals for my WLS: to overcome PCOS, increase my fertility, improve my health, and God willing, break the cycle of obesity in my family.  I am scheduled to be married March 20, 2010, and start a family within the next 2-3 years.

On a personal note, I love Sci-Fi and dogs.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I love dogs too. We have 6.

I will be having surgery on April 1, 2010.  I'm very excited and VERY nervous.  i can't wait to shop in the "normal" section of stores... or enjoy shopping. 

Does this group have meetings?  I am looking for a support group in the area.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm having VSG on April 27th in Austin.

My goals are to (obviously) lose all my excess weight with WLS and finally keep it off.  I'm also trying to stave off diabetes and get rid of my sleep apnia.  I'd also like to start exercising regularly.

Hmm somehow I missed this post before now... anyway...

I'm Heather... I live in South Austin. I had surgery on Oct. 29, 2009 in Mexico. I am hoping the surgery will allow me to be more active. I've lost 86ish lbs so far (~100 to go! OMG) and I can definitely tell I'm able to more more and I have more stamina as far as walking and stairs and such than I did before surgery. Good stuff! I'm also kind of like Brenda and hoping that after I reach goal the weight loss helps with fertility so my husband and I can start a family. As far as hobbies... I'm a big nerd. I love science fiction/fantasy books and movies. I like to write and I'd love to actually finish a novel some day. My husband and I do a lot of online gaming (EverQuest II). I love Roller Derby! My husband and I have season passes and we go every month to watch it. Good times! 

Looking forward to the next meeting!
