Hi! I new to this forum, and I'm in the beginning stage of getting weight loss surgery. I'm 40 years old, and have been thinking about getting weightloss surgery for awhile. I have now made up mind and going ahead with the process. I don't know when my surgery date is, but I have so far completed my consult with the surgeon, and have now been schedule for a EGD, and with a dietitian. As always, I tend to get nervous about anything that I'm doing for first time, but it's not like I havent had a major surgery before, but that's how I operate. Hopefully I can come here for more support and will not for alone as I go through this transition. Because many people will not understand, or dont want to understand the toil and the struggles on you trying to keep the weight off, or just losing weight when you have tried so many different weightloss methods.

I am a newbie myself. My consult is 6/1 and psych eval is 6/6. I am from Seymour MO near Springfield MO. Glad to have you in the group and keep us posted in your progress
