Well, I have finally decided to take positive steps in making a better life for myself. I attended a wls seminar last year and never followed up with it. I have thought about it constantly though and now I feel I am ready to move forward. I attended a seminar in Jan "08 and felt much better about surgery this time. It was with a different group this time. Maybe that is what made the difference. My husband is going to do the surgery too. We seem to do everything together. We were diagnosed with DM at the same time, have ended up on the same medications, bmi's are the same...Anyway's, we have gotten our referral from our PCP, had our psych evals done, bloodwork is done, sleep study's are scheduled (we both have sleep apnea), and our first appiontment is set. I am sssooo excited!
