wow, this is such a relief to have (very nice) people to visit with that is going thru what I am. I'm a 46 mother of 3 daughters and then 3 foreign exchange students, 1 son-in-law and the most important 1 granddaughter and 1 one the way. 'The Princess' was not impressed about the new brother or sister. She's 3 and very used to being the Queen! I have the support of my husband, kids, and my sisters on having surgery. My mom doesn't know, she would have a cow! She's like 100 lbs, and just doesn't understand why one of my sister and I have a weight problem. I guess she doesn't remember my dads side of the family-hahaha- senior moments, I guess. As far as I know my insurance has said yes. I have a friend who did the banding and stapling- that's not for me! I tried to talk her out of having the stapling kind of surgery but... well I am so glad to meet all of you and will keep you posted, I go for more tests this next week to Lubbock, there sure is alot of test to do. Did everyone have tests, echo,lab, chest x-rays, etc?? And I'm trying (my hardest) to quit smoking not just for surgery (but may be an incenntive! -wish me luck! 237 lbs nana
