Preop and would like to have friend to talk with in MN

I have my apt with the surgeon on the 24th, already been approved by the insurance, and am excited to be closer to a new lease on life but still scared.I have two kids, 10 & 16 and have a wonderful husband but would like to find someone that I could bond as a freind with and that might have either just had or is at the same point I am with the surgery. I live northwest of the twin cities in MN. My email is: [email protected] Could meet sometimes at the Mall of America to check out all the clothes we will buy later on or just to talk to via email or phone.I promise to answer all that write.

Hi, my name is Pam Gilliam and I'm in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am 37 years old, married with 5 children (two of which are my step-daughters) and just became a grandma last year. I am currently waiting for approval from my insurance company and then I will be on my way. I am VERY nervous about this entire procedure, but after fighting the Weight War for most of my life and failing, I am ready to win...and I believe this surgery will be my "weapon to win". (I hope) If you're interested in e-mailing, my e-mail is:[email protected]. I look forward to it.
