Almost there!
I had my pre & postop support group meetings this past Friday & Saturday.
The preop was a little boring but we got to watch a discovery health video of 4 different people before/during/after gastric bypass. *Amy got a little teary-eyed listening & commiserating with the people*
The postop meeting was my absolute favorite! There were at least 40-50 people there and around 15 people were 6 months to 1 year postop and they shared their success' with us. One lady around age 50 said that 4 days after surgery she was COMPLETELY off her diabetic and blood pressure medications!!
I cannot begin to explain how very much I needed to be at the support group meeting. I felt as though I had people around me that understood to a 'T' what I have gone through my whole life.
I only have one more post op meeting to attend and then I can send off my paper work to my insurance company for approval.
Well everyone, I am off to study and head to bed.
I love you all!

Your on your way! I think having a support group is a good thing. My support comes from people like you and my other blogger friends. It sure does help knowing your not alone in your feelings and thoughts.
