This is just a progress update and it's a good one.   I have lost 7lbs. in 10 days on my weight loss program. . . yeah!

I am more and more so having inner conflicts with myself on losing weight.  On one end of the spectrum I am excited (and a little nervous) to embark on this journey to a new and much healthier me.   I know when I've reached my goals I'll be able to do things (some new) and live a way I haven't been able to for many many years.  However, on the other end of the spectrum I have a not so positive outlook and I am kind of embarassed to admit I'm even having these issues, but I'm afraid of excess skin.  I'm embarassed because I know I should be thrilled about the years I am adding to my life and I am excited.  Jeeze, I'm going to live longer who cares about skin, but for some reason I do.  It never used to bother me, but the more I am involved in becoming healthier the more my mind is starting to worry.  Maybe the thoughts I'm having are a little dramatic, I know I'm not good with change.  I don't know, if anyone has any advice they think might help, I'll listen with open ears.   
Recently I have had thoughts about reconstructive surgery, once again if anyone has any experience on the matter and is willing to take the time to tell me about it and how it went I'd like to hear from you.

Today I signed up for a medical weight loss program and I'm really excited about it!

Hi my name is Barbara, I am a mother of three and I live in Incline Village.  I am here to learn about other people's experiences with bariatric surgery.  As I may be considering this as a solution for my weight problem.  I look forward to interacting with the community here.
