Default what a wow for me!

about 8 months ago, my hubby, my 2 kids and myself went rollerskating and i was like no problem i can do this i use to do it all the time as a kid, well needless to say, i put on skates, hugged the wall all the way around once, my legs were killing me and shaking and i was sweating like a pig, i took the skates off and watched the rest of the time. today we took the kids rollerskating with santa and i thought since i am 100 pounds lighter i would try again. I skated the whole 4 hours and didnt sit down once! and i could have skated longer! it made me feel great and the kids were so excited to be able to skate with me!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

AWESOME WOW!!! I miss doing this too...I'm afraid to with my knees, but I'm feeling more and more like I just might do it again! I still own my own skates, and I would love to go again!!!

That is AWESOME - it is the moments like this I am looking forward to sharing with my kids. CONGRATS. It is funny how when we are considering surgery some worry about the effect it may have on our kids if all does not go well. It is these kind of WOWs that assure me that this surgery is going to allow me to be the active, healthy mom I want to be.
