Soo.. I know this is a long road and I keep thinking… I have been FAT for 15 years why is it killing me to wait 4 more months. I think I am just so excited to change my life and actually start living a fun healthy life w/ my family. I have gone to the informational seminars, started my Psyche appointments and have met with my surgeon (Dr. Selwyn). I have my first Dietician and PT appointments at the end of next week. I have all three (psyche, PT and dietician) appointment every month for three months and then they will submit everything to insurance. Also I am having my upper endoscopy on 9/24… kind of nervous but not really. well that’s it for today.

 I have been overweight my entire life and am just plain sick of it. I have a wonderful little boy (17 months) and it kills me that I get out of breath playing with him at the park or chasing him around the house. I am only 22 years old and I am already starting to see the affects being overweight is having on my body. IT IS TIOME FOR A CHANGE.    I have gone to the informational meetings and a support group meeting and I have gotten my initial approval from my insurance. I have my appointments made with the Surgeon, Dietician, Psyche, and the PT. Three appointment each once per month and then I just have to wait for the final approval from my insurance.   I am soooo nervous and excited, but I know that I need to change my lifestyle. I would really like to find some other that have had WLS who are very young like me. I would like to hear your stories.
