Folks, I'm new to the group, although I have responded to a few posts. I am at the very very beginning and going to my informational meeting next week. I do have diabetes and hypertension with a 38 BMI. So I presume I will qualify. I'm 61 years old. I decided to go this route as I'm afraid of the consequences of diabetes and want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up. Course there are all kinds of other reasons too but that's my primary goal. I'm a little nervous about the hair loss and the reframing my brain away from food behaviors I have done before. But I'm putting my faith in the process and the universe and praying all will be well. I really value having a group like this to get real answers. I had joined a diabetes group and it was immensely helpful too. Thank you to the administrator for putting this out there.

I am almost to the surgery part now. Don't worry it is not as scary as you think. Just listen to the doctors and make sure to inform them about what you are worrying about and they will help you through. Lifestyle change for the win.
