  12. Yesterday I went to the seminar. It was 2.5 hours long. I got my binder. Today I scheduled all of my pre surgical requirements. i will be done with all pre cert work by January 14! The binder was nice. It has so much info in it. Including a meal plan for phase 1,2,and 3 and a grocery shopping list. The office is nice they sell vitmains you can get everything you need there for about $35 a month. i could be having surgery in February! I am excited

  16. i hate logging, but it works. I dont know why I find it so annoying, but I do
  17. I am the same as you to a point. I started considering the surgery in 2011. But was convinced I could do it alone. I gained and lost the same 40-50 pounds all through 2011-2012 and in 2013 I hit my all time high of 350. Then my feet and knees started hurting so bad exercise is all but impossible. I have slight fears. I am perfectly healthy except my weight. What if the surgery causes me to be unhealthy. What if I was going to live a longer life fat than if I developed a complications. But all in all I am sure of my dcision because, my daughter is only 3 years old. I spent all summer watching her play instead of playing with her. She loves rides and I cannot fit on them to go with her. SHe loves Water parks but I exceed the weight limit for the water slides. If she were to get hurt or be in danger I could not get to her in a tinley manner. I know I want this to improve our lives together.
