oops....my ticker thing didn't come out right.. :-)

Good luck Shamrockgirl! My info was submitted to insurance last week so now I have to play the waiting game. We are around the same age (I'm 59) and I hear you on having been a skinny kid all those years ago. :-) I am 5'8" and I was 129lbs when I got married 38 years ago. Gone are the days when I could eat anything! Now I just look at food and I gain weight. My tentative date is August 27th.....so wish me luck.

Hi all....I am new to these boards, but wanted to jump in to say that I have a "tentative" surgery date of Aug. 27....Just waiting to hear from insurance company. I'm in that "not sure if I want them to say yes or no" mind set! LOL! The surgery and the total change of lifestyle is pretty daunting, but at the same time I know that I just can't lose the weight on my own anymore. Too many years of too many diets .....losing tons of weight and gaining it back each time..... Good luck to all of you who have your surgery scheduled soon......Glad to have a place to come and share with others going through the same things. Onward and downward!:thumbdown:
