I'm in OC. Who's your doctor?

Orange County!!!

I was just wondering if anybody else had to see a trainer for six moths aside from seeing the nutritionist. My insurance is requiring and my doctors office has a trainer that does 30 minute appointments for the six months complimentary. The trainer seems to be a bit pushy on my signing up for 2 x per week for 240 a month. I did the math and its almost half the cost of my out of pocket costs. Just wondering what kind of experiences you guys have had.

That's the thing. It's not even covered by the insurance!

So is your surgery schedule for February?

Hi all!! My name is Nelly and I'm 24 yrs old. I had my first consultation July 3rd and surgery is expected for February 10. My insurance is requiring a 6 month medically supervised diet. Starting weight is 214 and goal weight is 120. Im only 4 feet 11 inches. I have always been on the thicker side, 145 when I got married, but it was always blamed on being a Latina with curves. After I got married the weight just started going up. My daughter is 4 yrs old now and I had a c-section with her and one month later my gallbladder removed. After I stopped breast feeding the weight seemed to double up again. I tried many methods and was even working out 2 hrs a day for 3 months and only loosing a few pounds. I knew about surgery since my SIL got the lapband but it seemed too extreme for me. Until recently I felt fine but lately EVERYTHING hurts. Knees, hips, ankles, back and my arms fall asleep right away! Realizing I'm carrying OVER 100 of excess weight opened my eyes. I just can't wait to be fit.I want this not only for myself but for my daughter. I want to be an example to her I don't ever want her to feel the way it feels to be obese. And I don't even want to think about being pregnant and this heavy. I want to be a fit mom! To take my kids on hikes and bike rides and run with them instead of being stuck at home because I have no energy after work. I'm really glad my doctor told me about this site! It makes me feel not so alone anymore since I haven't told anyone but my husband and best friend. My sisters are too judgmental and my mom would go nuts!!! I really can't wait for these 6 months to be over!!!!!

Thanks. It's been a struggle!! Realizing that "baby fat" will not go away!

This is great I was thinking the same thing. I have been staring at my closet doors wanted to fill them with my dreams and goals!
