1)I won't miss feeling unattractive no sexual energy. I wonder why and how I am still married 2)I won't miss ppl making comments like remember how thin she was when she was younger. Or how pretty she would be if she lost a few pounds. 3)sweating I will never forget this sitting down in a nice summer turquoise dress and when I got up it was soaked. 4)I won't miss wearing spanks or girdles all year round. 5)I won't miss changing over and over again because nothing looks right or good.

Thanks, I need a lot of prayer I am scared too.But my life has to change for me and my family otherwise its death from all the obesity complications that o have... Will surely keep posting my experience.

Thanks!

Hello I started my pre-op evaluations the end of October and was done with all visits by the end of November ...I saw Gastro,Pulmonary, Cardiology,nutritionist,urology and of course my pcp....The hospital my pcp is affiliated with had NO available appointment until mid of January ....I just couldn't wait that long my cousin had gastric by pass surgery 8yrs ago at Maimonities hospital and told me the work with you and all of the specials needed are right in the area...she was not joking! After all my paperwork ease done I asked the Dr assistant how long and if health1st will cover?? She said health 1is one of the best ...They take 2weeks to approve and no diet requirements are needed...So here I am with a date for 1/14....Where are you located?
