Default Finally decided to post
I've been reading emails sent to me by this site for some time now, and I have finally decided to post.
An introduction is appropriate, so..............
I'm a 59 year old woman who has basically been on the heavy side most of my life. I've have travelled those peaks and valleys like some of you, always ending up on a higher peak. Best friends of mine had the Rous En Y GB surgery long before I did and I just wouldn't listen. Then the light went on. Would I live to see 60? 65? 70? Probably not weighing in at 430 lbs. which was the hightest peak I ever reached in my life. I blamed it on the suffering I went through during my husband's illness then death, allowing food to comfort me, but in reality, it was probably killing me.
I decided to have the surgery (surgiversary April 19 (2007)) and am proud to say I have surpassed the doctor's goal and am now at mine .............. 188. And I might go a little lower. May sound like a lot but being 5'9", the doctor is quite happy and so am I.
A 242 lbs weight loss! I never thought I could do it. So I am here to encourage others. Do not be afraid to take the step. Looks like a great bunch here to go through it with you!
Good luck to you ........... and to the others, congratulations!!!

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.

Thank you all for your kind and welcoming words.
I still attend our monthly support group meetings here because I like to be an encouragement and support to others and I need their support to continue with my never-ending battle. If I can ever be of any help to anyone, please do not hesitate to ask me anything. And, I hope I can freely ask you things and look to you for support.
It's a pleasure to meet all of you.
