Are u self pay? Trying to find out how to get the surgery as a self pay. Any info you can give me would be much appreciated.

Hi Anita. Welcome to this site. I, too, am relatively new to the site (about 2 or 3 months) I've been reading about this new way of life and looking forward to being healthier and lighter when this is all said and done. My name is Anita too; 50 year old mother of two (27 & 30) and married for 10 years this year. I told myself I would never be as heavy as I am (240), but somehow here I am. A lot of my eating was stress eating and I've been through quite a bit of heartache and loss these past couple of years (losing my mom); but now I'm ready to do something for me and make me feel better. I'm almost to the end I believe; I've had my nutrionist visits for 5 months, psych visit, sleep study, gastro and now waiting to start pre-op diet. I haven't loss any weight yet, but plan on starting early on either the liquid diet or 1200 calorie diet to be sure I can have the surgery. At this rate, it will probably not be until late July or August, but better late than never. I need a buddy and supporter too, so we can stay in touch and give each other support; especially on those days when we think we can't/won't make it. My email address is Vickivail7160@yahoo.com. Stay in touch.

I'm going through the Maryland Kaiser program. My surgery is not until March or April

that seems awfully odd.......
