I have been considering gastric bypass for the past 10+ years and am finally in the position to make it happen! I am hoping 2017 is my year of change!

I attended a seminar for Norton Bariatric in Louisville in November and started the weight management program that is required by Cigna in December. I am required to go a minimum of three consecutive months (>89 days) so I am hoping to have them under my belt by February.

When I called the surgeon's office to inquire about making an appointment, they wouldn't even schedule one until my physician's visits are complete and they have received my information packet. I was hoping to have some of the other requirements completed so I could get into surgery quicker.

So a little about me... I am 36, female and currently reside in Louisville. I am 5'9 and currently weigh 267 lbs. My goal after surgery is to be around 165 lbs and free of taking any medications. Anywho, thanks for reading and I wish everyone the best!

Welcome and congratulations!
