I have a tenative date!!!

Well i never thought this would be but after 2 yrs of research and insurance pains on wls i finally recieved a maybe date on jan11th my insurance papers were filed yesterday so if they go thru, then well... my hopes will not be high until the insurance says yeah. With a big sigh i say lets hope!!! Ive been fighting this diesese since i first entered school as a young child it was very tramatizing being on a apple diet starting in the 1st or 2nd grade I did lose 15lbs that year i remember my mom bought me some pants that were originally to small but with the weight loss i fit in them quite well for about three weeks it seems i know it was only a short time and i experianced the eeeeuuuuwwwww these are soooo tight!!!!! One of many many many familiar events that revolved around the weight gain and loss and weight gain again starvation diets in middle school and exercising to no avail,the common low self esteem i guess this goes well with it sometimes for me anyway nothing worked not in the long run anyways even if I did it right it did not matter...So i hope this new tool works in the long run, im going to give it my best shot. marla c.

Marla, Good luck! I hope all the approvals go thru and you are on your way. I wish so much I was 31 when I started this journey! The extra time was hard on my joints and body. Feel free to ask any questions that come up, and keep us posted on your progress. Patty

Congratulations Marla! Get ready for a roller coaster ride of emotions, thoughts and experiences....with the end result.....a lighter, healthier you! What a great thing, eh? Michele

Oh Marla! I hope everything works well for you! I know you have been through a lot to put yourself into the position to get this surgery. Keep us updated!!! Dina
