Hi all! My name is Teresa and I am happy to be hear and I hope to support and be supported. I am 28 years, 5'7, and 213 pounds. My BMI is 33.4. My insurance will not cover this procedure, but I am paying out of pocket bacause I am sick of feeling fat and out of control.

I feel like I have control of my life except one aspect, food. I am working on my masters degree, have a great job, am self-sufficiant. I have tried with no luck so I am taking a chance and hope to reach my goal of 135 within 1 year.
