Kari, This is the hardest part...the waiting. Dr. Glatt was my surgeon and I think he is wonderful! Ask his office to let you know when the request is sent off to your insurance company, give it about 2 weeks and then start calling your insurance company to find out the status of your request.

Maghan, We are meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm. This month we are having a potluck of foods that are weightloss friendly. It can be something you made (please bring recipe) or an item that you have discovered that you are willing to let the others try. We would love for you to come! Kathryn

You definately need to look at a support group. It has been the best thing for me and I too have trouble with free time. Between teaching, getting my masters, being mother, wife and grandmother, as well as active in church, SFEA, Reading assoc., and PTA, I have little time, but this is ONE thing I do for myself. Please, please, take time to go to a support group. If you are close to sioux falls, we meet once a month (third Monday) at 7 at Sanford Hospital(SVH). Call if you have questions....I'll pm you my phone.

Hi there! Thought this was an interesting way to get people talking and it looks like it is working! I will be twelve weeks out this Tuesday and I am down 57lbs. Tomorrow is weigh in day so we will see how that goes! I had Gastric Bypass December 5 2006. My question is..how many of you had plastic surgery after the weight loss? Right now the thing that is going great for me is that I can actually keep food down now and excercising it going great....I find it very calming. I am struggling with what others think about me and the fact that I had the surgery..I don't know why..but I am.. I do not attend a support group...I would like to, however in my line of work, free time is very rare.
