No doubt. I'm in a similar situation as people are trying to discourage me because of thier own insecurities. But what about how YOU feel? You know how you feel. The backpain, medical issues, just not feeling awesome like a person in our age range should! Take control of YOUR life and do what's best for you.
Niici I'm 26, 5'0 218lbs, BMI 42.5 If I need this then u absolutely need it. I understand how u feel because most see our small frame and assume this isn't needed but it is.
I'm also beginning my journey. I have Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of NJ - PPO and I had my 1st visit with my surgeon this past Friday 09/07/12. I'm hoping for a smooth process and swift approval from the insurance company.
In excited!
