Hi everyone, my name is Desiree'. I'm a mother of four great kids and an RN on a Pediatric ICU floor in Missouri.

I have my seminar May 17th. This will be my 3rd seminar in 2 years. I've gone to the seminar and completed most of a 6 month preoperative diet. I switched jobs and lost my insurance 5 months into my journey. Decided I'd try the following year and my Dr. said he'd fight my the insurance company. That didn't go well.

This time, my insurance covers the surgery. There are several steps to cover, but they cover up to 30k. So, here I go again.

Congrats and welcome! Which surgery are you doing?

Thanks. I'm hoping for the sleeve, I'm not sure if we're done having kids (talking one more, call me crazy). I have several friends who've had wls and those who had the sleeve seem to recover a little easier.

I have a very good childhood friend that is a ARNP and has 5 kids.

Her reasoning....if you have one you might as well have 5. Lol

Congratulations and good luck.

The benefits have been awesome !!!

I wish you the best and know you'll see the best, too.

My grandma said that babies are like biscuits. If you're going to the trouble to make one, make a dozen. I did not take her advice.

I like to think it's patience with a dash of crazy
