Weight Loss Method Controlled Eating & Exercise   |  i am a newbie too
Well where do I start, I have been lurking around this forum for about 4 months. I have learned a lot and have finally decided to register and become known in your community. I am a 30 yr old mom of 3. I have been happily married for almost 10 yrs. I have been overweight most of my life. I started gaining in around the 5th grade. I have done what seems like every diet out there know to man. I tried to tell myself that I can deal with my size and take the cards God deals me. I am super active in my kid's lives and feel like my size holds me back. I don't want to embarrass them or make them feel like they need to hide because of me. I started going to a weight loss management clinic in Memphis in April. My doctors are just wonderful. ( case managers leave a little to be desired) I don't feel like I am being kept informed. I have done the tests, dr visits, physch visits, you name it-- I think I have it covered. I am still waiting for insurance approval. I understand that can be an experience all on its own. I have enjoyed reading all of your stories and successes. Please keep me in your prayers. I am hoping to hear something really soon.

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.  |

Hi MS Mom, Just wanted to join the others in saying WELCOME. There is tons of support here. My surgery is scheduled for August 7th, so I can't give any post-op advice yet, but ask away about post-op jitters. I'm an expert
