Hello, I'm just beginning my journey to a thinner me. :thumbup: I attended the orientation class yesterday and am currently waiting to find out what my insurance company is going to do. I'm both excited and scared at the same time.

Hello and welcome to LBT :thumbup:

I, too, am just beginning this journey. I am 34, married to the most wonderful man for 10 years and have two beatiful sons 7 and 4. I have been overweight since I can remember. DH has never even mentioned my weight. I literally fear for my life if I don't get the weight off. I have tried so many different things. I reason I fear- My father, now 57, had his first heart attack and open heart surgery at the ripe age of 40. I can remember as if it were yesterday. I was a freshman at Western Kentucky University (18 yrs old). Since then he has had numerous stints. My grandmother (his mother) died in her sixties with heart disease. If I were to follow close to 40, my children would be so young. I do not want these years taken away. Currently, BMI is 41.2. I have also went on meds for High BP last December.

I think that I have made the right decision. I have prayed about it. I was about to settle for a doctor that was closer, however, as it would be He was not PPO and I could not find out much about him or his firm. I hear so many good things about Dr. Lusco out of Louisville, KY. I am fired up and ready to get started.

The best part of the whole thing thus far is that my husband is behind me. Yeah!!!!

I believe that God's gives each of us special talents. I am truly thankful that God has blessed these doctors and their staff with such talents and are able to help us.

Blessings to all,

I am so new to all this. I forgot to post my ? Since I have collected all of my medical history. The next thing will be a letter of medical necessity. I understand what it is. But what should the letter contain? Who can write this letter? I have me seminar on July 22nd in Louisville KY at St Mary's. Anyone need a buddy????
