I got denied my first go around because I had lost some weight and fell below 40 bmi. I would work on starting a strength training but do not try to lose maybe a 1lb a month.

I have very thick hair and enjoining my loss of hair.

Chatt' date=' Knox, and Nashville are really nice areas. I moved from Chicago to Memphis, so pretty much anywhere is a far cry better. There are very nice areas in Memphis as well.[/quote']

How would you compare the weather? I hate the winters in IL but also dislike the humidity in IL. But love our fall here.

I meet with surgeon tomorrow morning. I have 5 months of my weight management done hope they will send to insurance company tomorrow for approval. All I should have left I think is upper gi, EKG and blood work I hope.

Thanks guys! We have the drugs here too but not a huge problem. We visit Nashville often and like the area just not sure about the living conditions.

Off subject...... I currently live in IL hate this state! I would love to move to TN I have teenage kids and I currently live in a small farm community. Where would you recommend to move in TN? Worried about drugs and school system.

Jhannsen I would incorporate weight training. By gaining more muscle you will burn more fat
