I have been asked by every one of my Pcp to do surgery but I was scared. I have embraced this is what I have to have done I am looking forward to getting this all done my insurance already said they do approvals only thing I think might stop anything is 9 months of supervised dieting, exercise, I have kept a journal of what I ate since January of this year and weighed in every month to every other month with my doctor. Where are you from? I'm 36 from mansfield ohio it is nice to meet some one from Ohio.
