Thumbs up Congrats

Congratulations. I'm just begining the journey. I have my consult on 3/24 and my psychs on 3/30 & 4/5. I have been going back and forth for a year and a half on whether I was going to do this. Good luck to you.

Thanks Lei.
I was sorry to see you had to struggle so much with the decision whether or not to have wls. Your presence will enable those going through the same battle to know it's ok if they choose not to. I started down this road 2 years ago. I went to my doctor and said I need to lose weight and I don't want to have surgery. After eight months of eating and exercising his way I had gained 5 pounds. I said, no f****n way! Get ready to sign those papers doc, I want the surgery. Then I said no again, I want to do this on my own. 15 more pounds later I'm finally here.

Thumbs up Congrats and welcome!

Taz and Crissy welcome, welcome... you must be very excited! Glad to have you here on the board, let us know if you have any questions.... I wanted to point out if you have any questions regarding anything of interest, at the top of the page on a light blue bar that runs across your screen you can click search and then type in what you are curious about, this will bring up every thread where that was discussed.... I tell you this because it was recently brought to my attention that sometimes peoples questions arent getting answered and i feel as though its because many people here... those who have been posting for quite sometime get little frustrated of having to repeat themselves. So just a tip to use that search button, in the event you are looking for answers or you arent getting responses to your questions! But usually we try to be very good about sharing information......

* No, you wont go bald, the only person who notices your hair thinning is you and your stylist!
* Make sure you take chapstick to the hospital
* Dont go out and by a tone of broth or protein drinks, one can of broth will last you 2-3 days and everyone reacts to protein shakes differently, GNC and COSTCO offer a money back gurantee on their protein powders

Good luck ladies and welcome, welcome, welcome!!! Cant wait to have you on the losing side!
