  8. Sorry it took so long to get back to you been bussy with class. I'm sorry for all you are going throught I feel your pain and it sounds like you have really thought it through I wish you luck in your choice and hope you the best. If you are that unhappy like I am then go for it and I think if your boyfriend doesn't support it then maybe he's not the one.

  10. I am in maple grove area going with park nicollet in st louis park. And to shrinan I was woundering do you have any co-morbities and have you tryed any other ways to loose the weight? I personally don't know if I was only a bmi of 30 with out aything else wrong I would go this rout. I have had a bmi of over 35 for many years and it took me getting type 2 diabeties and months away from a spinal fussion to decide I HAVE to loose the weight. I just want to know your reasioning and resolve to your discision not trying to talk you out of it.
