Hi. I'm new from New York. I am forty and have struggled for about fifteen years with trying to lose weight. My family, who never believed in weight loss surgery actually supports me, this is a relief but also makes me come to the realization that they are concerned about me and my health. I go in for an informational meeting next Tuesday. I'm excited and nervous and anxious. My insurance covers lap band surgery, so I feel very lucky. New in Oklahoma, how wonderful that your hubby is so supportive.
