    Hello to whomever reads this! I am a young girl in need to lose weight, but not enough for insurance of course. I need to lose about 45lbs but ideal would like more. My BMI isn't high enough for insurance to cover anything so this is my best option. I pay for my schooling and medical bills so I was excited when I saw that this wouldn't cost over $10k like it would in the US as well as less hassle. I have never had any surgery or even stitches so this is pretty scary to me, especially with risks. I'm looking to book a date in August due to work and other scheduling factors but want to get the ball rolling and get things ready. I'm hoping this will have no complications and to work on getting myself to a healthy weight! I'm open to any advice and have many questions!

    Welcome!

    This is by far the best decision I ever made for me and my health. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

    It's normal to be scared. This is a lifestyle change and a life changing decision.

    This is the best site for support, no-nonsense suggestions, knowledge and experience from "veterans". Please ask any question you may have.

    I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Weiner's videos on YouTube. They may answer a lot of the questions you have.

    Best of luck as you embark on your journey!
