Hi to all!! I am a newbie!! I go for my first appt to start my WLS journey on Wednesday June 16. I am nervous and excited at the same time. My mom had this surgery back in August 2004 due to health problems and being overweight and I am following in her footsteps. I know being a member I will get the much needed support from you guys and gals. Everyone on here is so awesome and I am just getting started. Good luck to all you who are having this done and good luck to all of you that have had the surg done and are continuing to reach your goals.
