New Here!
Hello all. My name is gina and I am in the process of completing all the paperwork/testing for my insurance company to hopefully get my approval to have my surgery. I have USFHP (husband is active duty AF) and heard good things about the approval process from my PCM. I sure hope so. I was just looking to find a little support here for this exciting journey and hopefully someone who is in the same boat as me to talk to. Family has been great, but sometimes I wish I had someone to talk to that knows what I am feeling. Thats what brought me here.
Hope to hear from u all soon!
Gina
Hi Gina
Welcome to the Maryland board. You have definitely found the right place for support! We have a very lively bunch both on and off the board and we are always happy to have new folks join in.
Best wishes as your WLS journey continues.
Hugs, Mo
Comparison is the thief of joy!
If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
Hi Gina -
As you can see from the enthusiastic responses you've already gotten, we always welcome new members! There's plenty of room on our Loser's Bench - we gladly call ourselves Losers!!!
Please feel free to post with any questions or concerns you have, we're happy to help!! You're right, family support is critical, but no one can share the experience like we can!
Take care and good luck,
Teresa (Tia)
