Shannon, What kind of help do you need? We can offer you lots of support and encouragement, but what exactly are you needing from us right now? Do you have a PCP, have you spoken to a surgeon, gone to any info sessions, need insurance advice???? Give us some more info, Girlie! WE're here to help as much as we can. Amy -132lb.

Shannon, you have recognized that you need help. You've got a host of knowledge on this site and plenty of people that will help guide you if you feel WLS is something you want and need. Initial steps need to be going to an informational bariatric meeting, finding out what your insurance coverage is and an appointment with your primary care physician. We are all here to help.
