[b][i][size=4][font=georgia]Hey My name is Angel,[/font][/size][/i][/b]
[b][i][size=4][font=georgia]I am a single mom from Morristown, TN. I decided to go to University of Tennessee Bariatric surgeons when I found out I have Ovarian Cyst. We believe they could be cancerous cause their growing and irregular. My OBGYN wants to take them out but seeing how I have had 3 C sections already it's to dangerous to cut me open again the same direction. He says only way is if I lose weight so he can cut me open up down not side to side. He says to much scar tissue and I had the reopening with my last C section so he knows healing will be an issue. I went first time to see Lynn Castle in August 2012 with my friend. I weighed 386 at 5'2'' i was huge. I essentially chickened out that time. I decided to go back this past August 2013 and weighed in at 368 lbs. It is now December 23 2013 and I have had 5 office visits and weigh in at 325 LBS. I feel better but I have lost so much that it's time to hit the gym. I gotta tighten while losing. I have completed all requirments from insurance except phsych evaluation,support group, and last education class. I have it all schedualed next month so I will hopefully know the date of surgery by Febuary.[/font][/size][/i][/b]
