Orientation Monday

So excited to start this process, I have been contemplating having this surgery for years and made the decision last year that i will make one last attempt to lose it on my own while waiting for the referral to go through, if I was successful on my own, I wouldn't do the surgery.<br />
<br />
Well here I am hours from my orientation 25lbs heavier then when my Doctor submitted my referral. I honestly am so excited and ready to make this change. I have 20 pgs to complete on my health history and hope I remember everything.

It is an exciting time, enjoy the process.

Best of luck in this amazing journey. I'm still in the pre-op phase and this amazing group has been such a great support system. Congratulations on your new journey. Keep us posted on your progress and don't hesitate to reach out for any reason

Thank you Daisies109,
I had my sister over today to look at this forum of amazing support and information, she loved it. We went through the forms to fill in family history so I have them completed for my Orientation.
I cannot thank you and all the wonderful people who have reached out to welcome myself and others, it truly makes a difference when you have felt so alone for so long.

Hi there, it has taken me 12 years to finally consider surgery so I totally understand where you are coming from.  I am waiting for my first assessment and had my orientation last month.  Welcome to the forum and enjoy the orientation.

Congratulations Zizzler on your first step! I know how much it took me to get here and have the belief i can do this. I am bringing my husband to write down information at the orientation so i am not overwhelmed with trying to remember everything, i will enjoy it! It is the first step to reclaiming the life i deserve to live
Thank you for the warm welcome

To all of you just starting on this amazing journey - WELCOME - For the most part, time will fly by!  The miracles are just beginning!  My best wishes to all of you. Have a great day and a wonderful journey, one day at a time.
