I've been in this forum for awhile just reading everybody's threads. This is such a great community!! I'm looking forward to sharing with everyone. Just a little about me- I'm 35 and a Labor and Delivery nurse and I love my job. Over the years after 3 kids and many diets I've lost and gained weight over and over. My insurance company required me to be on a waiting list for 12 months just to get into their bariatric surgery program. Then you have 4-6 months of dietary, exercise and behavioral health classes. I must admit I'm a little jealous of the ones that get their surgery a month or even weeks after deciding:( but I'm hope with the support I can be successful this time. I'm probably going to have surgery in Sept. Looking forward to sharing and for the support!
