Hi My Name Is Angela I Am 26yrs Old And Weigh 429 Pounds And Have Been Fighting With My Weight Since I Was About 9yrs Old. I Have Recently Graduated School To Be A Medical Coder And Biller. On Thursday July 5th Was My First Appt. With Dr Callery I Guess I Am In The Pre Op Stages. I Feel Like I Am On My Way Through A Long Journey.... I Am So Ready For This Surgery But At The Same Time So Nervous. ( Thats Normal Right?)

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

Angela,

Congrats on your graduation. You are totally normal.......you should be nervous. This is a big decision, but can be a second chance at life. It's great to see you take action so young! I wish I could be your age and be a healthy weight a little while......sigh. You have come to the right place to get a lot of information and support. The wonderful people on here will answer any and all questions......even intimate ones. You can talk to people here at all points of the process from "just started to think about it" to many years post-op. This is the best bunch of folks you'll ever meet. Welcome to the board.
