I've been to the seminar and have gotten a few tests done. Waiting on my Dr.'s office to get more records to them. So I've just been researching on the internet alot and eating anything I can get my hands on until the day I can't do that anymore. I know, it's not good and I know I've gained some weight just in these last months waiting. I've been struggling with my weight since puberty. It wasn't so bad when I was young and playing any sport I could but even then it wasn't easy. I've had two c-sections with 10lb babies and a botched spinal fusion, then a revision surgery from the front and back. oww. Then I just had a spinal stimulator inplanted a few weeks ago. I'm nervous because I can't exercise now but I'm hoping when I can get some of this weight off it will help with the back pain.

I live in Southern Maryland if anyone's close let me know.

I love Reggae music so so much. If anyone else does too please let me know.

I'm excited to be on this forum and can't wait to make lots of new friends and be able to help support and encourage others.

Thanks,

Karen
