Hi my name is Lynne. I went through the bariatric program 8 years ago and was just about to have surgery and backed out. I had to do some more emotional work. So now I am back. I have a 5 yr old son. I'm 47 and 300lbs. Hope this is an ok place to introduce myself. TY

Welcome ! Where are you, in your current journey?

I have entered the program and met with the surgeon and the dietician. My insurance company requires a 6 month waiting period before surgery.

Welcome aboard!

Thank You! I can't wait to be able to do so many more physical activities with my little boy! He is my main motivation to change!

That's gotta be such a rewarding benefit.

Best pre-surgical advice I can give is be vigilant during this period and take it seriously. Pick your surgeons brain with as many questions you can think of. And get in good with your surgeons coordinator. Ultimately it's their work that'll get you in the operating room.

Welcome!
