    Newbie introduction

    Hello Everyone,
    Allow me to introduce myself;
    I am about undergo the journey that many of you have already taken. I am scheduled for VSG on August 20. I am feeling all the emotions across the board, but mostly excited. 
    A little about myself, I am 38, single mother of *groan* 3 teenaged daughters and a 911 dispatcher. I love my life, except for my size, so I am changing it!!  I hope to start a new phase in my life, with a pretty strong support system and a positive attitude, I hope this journey will be fairly smooth.

    I look forward to making some new friends and hearing more of all your stories :)
        
    Welcome aboard!  It's great to have good support system at home and we have you covered here too. :)
