Yesterday was my first day here.  I asked 2 or 3 questions and got multiple replies.  I was scared to even call the doctor to schedule a consultation. I had the "watch what you wish for you just might get it" feeling  I was so used to have the excuse of saying i couldn't lose the weight to being scared to death that i just might lose it.  What an odd feeling.  Thanks to people *****plied I now have some great ideas on how to talk to people such as my husband who don't necessiarily approve of the surgical route. I don't have to please or get approval from anyone other than "ME"!  my health matters more than what people think.  Thank you to everyone  who shared their stories.

Thank you for being here! You're going to love this forum. I was sleeved 8/26/14 and I can tell you the encouragement and advice here are invaluable. These posters have been through what you and I are going through, and will go through. They have faced the same apprehension, fear and challenges and know their way through this journey. Anytime I have a question, a fear, a "ah ha" moment or even a failure I come here. And EVERY time I have been encouraged to keep on. So welcome!
