About to consult with the surgeon
Hello friends:
It's very nice to be here. I'm a 38 year old woman living in the Boston, MA area. I'm 5 foot 11 inches and currently weigh 274 lbs, giving me a BMI of 38. My highest weight was 301 lbs; I took off about 30 pounds through diet and exercise but I"m now considering WLS because I just can't get any lower.
Interestingly enough, I'm a nurse (RN) working at a health insurance company that does a lot of bariatric surgical reviews! :) So I know all about this from the clinician/insurance side and now I'll get to see it from the patient side.
In my spare time, I enjoy writing, reading, travel, geeky movies (can't wait for Star Wars!), and the TV show BBC Sherlock.
Peace,
cheremiste
If you need help finding anything or have questions, feel free to reach holler. That is what we are all here for. 
Welcome! I grew up in Winchester, MA and spent most of my adult life in the Burlington area. I live in Georgia now (past 2.5 years) but travel back to Boston a lot for work. Best of luck to you!
