I'll be attending the first seminar on the 16th. Needless to say I'm more then excited! Growing up I was a stick. After having my son 28 years ago I've struggled with my weight since. I had a bad break up and list the weight. i recently remarried (#3) and gained all the weight back and more. I realize I am a emotional eater. I've gained 26 pound s since September 2012. My insurance covers the surgery. I've already called and checked my deductible and have selected the surgeon and hospital ill use. It has been very helpful reading your stories. Please give me advice and support. Thank you very much.
