It's nice to see so many people in MN who have had WLS - I guess I didn't know there was so much support out there. More about me huh? I'm 34 (soon to be 35 - WOW that happened fast) and am having my surgery at the U of M. I have Pref One for insurance, which I've been really happy with. I met with the surgery nurse today to go over my lab work, and now I go back on the 30th for my pre-op. I still need to lose four pounds by then - wish me luck! I'm trying to drink lots and lots of water, and control my portion sizes. I really wish I didn't like carbs so much!
Thanks for the warm welcome - I really appreciate it!

Welcome! My two cents: believe in you, follow your program, gather all the positive support you're able to, and hopefully have a licensed psychologist who specializes in WLS because it would otherwise be an emotional blow to physically shrink faster than the head can adjust. We became obese due to self-medicating emotions with food, and when the lousy food choices are out of the picture, there's a lot to cope with. Just a suggestion--take it or leave it, OK? All the best, Patti
