I attended my first support group meeting for wls in Springfield, TN. I met a very nice lady who was more than willing to share information with me. She was not one bit shy about opening up and letting me know the good and bad about having wls surgery. She says that she would do it over again in a heart beat. She says that she feels like she started living life again because she felt better and could move and get around better with the weight off. It was very encouraging.

I went for the second 1/2 of my sleep study. It was pretty uneventful. I did not sleep well due to all the wires hooked up to me but I expected that.

Instead of a mask, they let me use something called nasal pillows. It seemed to be a little more comfortable than a mask. That is until I woke up. I have this huge red mark across my nose. It is sore and hurts to touch. I don't know where that came from.  Fat chic with a red nose! I swear only me could this happen to.

I am into my fourth month of the "supervised" diet. I have completed almost all the steps necessary. It is starting to seem for real to me. I have thought about this for so long and soon it will be a reality.  *Sigh* I am so ready.
