I started my journey in June /11. I had to go 6 months for insurance. I was finally cleared in Nov. /11- but with the
holidays and a few glitches with insurance I was approved in Jan. I was set to have surgery 2/14/12 -but received
a call on 2/6/12 asking if I could have my surgery on 2/8/12-because my doctor was having a family emergency
overseas- if I didn't have surgery then it could be delayed up to a month. So I went for it. I went through the
program New Start and my doctor is Kummeran.
I started out at 271 on 2/8 - 1 week later I was down 11 pounds- 2 weeks - 2/22 -16 pounds.
It is a learning experience. I am having problems eating over 3-4 bites of food at a time. I guess this will all
come to pass.
