Default New here - surgery on Monday!
Hello all,

Reading this site has been so helpful and encouraging. I will have surgery Monday morning and am starting to think about it a lot now.
I am hoping next time this week, I will be in this chair, on this computer, reading the site again.

I am excited and scared. I am excited as the day is finally coming!!! I am scared as I am wondering, "Will this be the time I finally lose weight AND keep it off?" I read a lot of positive comments on this site...and I read some that include side effects and some reporting a regain of weight and "starting over." This is the scary part. After all of this, all the prequalifying, there is a possibility to gain.


During one of my support group sessions, the facilitator introduced us to the book:
Exodus from Obesity by Paula Peck. (I bought it on line, used.) I really liked it and got a lot of good information from the author, who had WLS and is a nurse.
She suggested making a list of 3 reasons, 3 hopes or 3 benefits whatever for having WLS.
So, here are my 3 things:
1. Better mobility
2. Healthier Longevity
3. Being able to buy something that fits in a boutique....

Wishing everyone all the best!

Cathy (pretty woman )

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
