Hi my name is Eboni, I'm 30 years old married mother of two boys. I have battled with my weight for my entire life. I have never been thin. I've never had self esteem issues until the last 4 years. I have also been trying to have bariatric surgery, but due to Insurance coverage I was never succesful in the process. Now the time has come. I have insurance coverage now. I have started the process. I had my first Dr's appointment today (12/20/12) with my Primary and he mde me feel so good. He truly seemed as happy as I was that I chose to have the sugery. In conjuntion with having my first Dr's Appt, I also went to a WLS Seminar. The surgeon won't even see me until I have been to one. Mind you I have already been to 3 over the past 4 years. I turned in my info tonight now, so now I wait to hear from the Surgeon Office for an appt. I am super estatic. I have the surgery at my finger tips. I am ready!!! I have somethings in my life that I need to do for ME. This is one of them. A change in lifestyle is imperative in my life. I'm not gonna go on and on. Gotta save somethings for later. Until next time Hunni kisses.....
