New....again!
I started my WLS journey in August 2008. During the first month of my doctor supervised diet for insurance approval, I got pregnant with our 2nd (and last) child! My baby is now 3 months old and I'm getting back on track with WLS.
Since last year, our insurance has changed from BCBS to U of M Premier Care. So if/when I get approved, I'll be having my gastric bypass at U of M instead of the Barix Clinic where I originally planned on having it done.
I'm breastfeeding right now so I'm not really dieting. When baby turns 6 months in November, I'm going to start my 6 month doctor supervised diet. When baby turns a year, hopefully he'll be weaned. I breastfed my first born for 2 1/2 years, a little too long for me.
I know I'm not allowed to be lactating when I have my WLS so I'm shooting for WLS by summer 2010.
Hello again, happy to be here...again :D

Glad to have you back. My 2nd DD was approved for surgery when she became pregnant with her 2nd and last baby. She has an appointment for next week to start over. Hopefully she will be approved before she loses her insurance and her husband loses his job.

"When we stop running away from the situation that is scary - that is the moment we discover how strong we really are. So, acknowledge your strength...rejoice in it...and start breathing in life, as the beautiful, strong soul (being) that you truly are." - Rachna Sirtaj.......Love & Peace
