3 days before surgery and finally got the

approval from my insurance company.  Wow talk about cutting it close.

This is my very first post and I am so excited about getting the surgery done but on the other hand scared to death as well.  I know this is going to be a life style change for me which I need due to some health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea.  I am looking forward to getting to know members here for support and encouragement.

Yeah Natalie! Congrats and good luck.  It'll be done before you know it!!!  Get ready

Will be praying for your success.. and Rapid recovery.. mine procedure is scheduled for 03/23/12

 I know exactly how you are feeling because my surgery is on Tuesday and i was totally freaking out,All of a sudden over the past few days a sense of calmness has come over me....I'm wishing you textbook surgery and a speedy recovery.

 Good luck to you. I'm just over 2 months out and have lost 50 pounds post op, have come off of 4 different meds and I don't need to use my CPAP anymore. After you heal a bit you'll be able to focus on getting healthier. Be proud of yourself, this decision, recovery and life style change is hard, but so,so very worth it.

Welcome!  I'm so excited for you.  Never look back, it's gonna be a great ride.  You will be the healthy happy you have always wanted to be.  Congrats!  Ill keep ya in my prayers...

Congratulations Natalie!  I am so excited for you.  If you just hang in there and follow the good advice on this site regarding tracking your food and following protien/water intake guidelines and excersing...then you will do great.  Best of luck!
