Red face Joining the club

I just wanted to post a quick note to say hi. I joined the site today ! I am beginning the process of getting insurance approval to undergo the bypass surgery. I also happen to be the twin of whitelion who is a member here and is half way to her goal weight. I am excited for her and I can not wait for my turn. My husband and I really want to see this happen. It is amazing to have the love and support that I do both in my spouse and in my family. I will keep in touch regarding my progress.

Glad you finally made it to here. There are so many wonderful people and so much great information to be learned here.

You are going to have to make sure you do what I did and take pictures each month. You will not regret it. It really helps you see the progress when you cant by just looking in the mirror.

Oh did I tell you that there are a lot of wonderful people here?

Love you sis
