Hi Keli! Just wanted to say hi to ya! I am starting out on my WLS journey too, I've already seen my surgeon and started on pre op tests but haven't gotten an offical 'approval' from my ins. (BCBS of AL) because I have to do 6 months of WW and I've already done 21/2 so 3 1/2 to go! Well good luck to you ! If you ever want to talk just send me an email! Crystal

Keli, Welcome aboard! Good luck with your journey! Keep us posted as you go the the process! HUGS Kimberly

Hi Keli, These ladies are the greatest! A real gold mine of information and wonderful support. It took 2 years of education for my PCP to see what I was talking about. I am having tests now to prepare for surgery in June, so we can support each other! Welcome!!! Cheryl
