Hi Everyone!

My name is Heather I am 33yr old, married with one son from Central PA.  I will be having my surgery at Magee Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA with Dr George Eid.  All of my preop testing is done and my paperwork has been submitted to the insurance company.  My fingers are crossed for surgery date soon!!  My BMI is still 65   and since starting this journey I have lost 25lbs - I would like to loose somemore before surgery.  Just wanted to drop by and introduce myself!

Patty,

We have had a cooler summer than usual - we have only had about a week of extreme humidity.
