I know there are some classes and seminars they do, but he works during those. I think maybe we'll just have to talk it out. He's supportive, just being a grump about having to get the needed supplements and stuff. Such as protein shakes and stuff

Awesome!!! thank you for responding! How are you doing so far? I have the "I'm already missing food" thing happening and I don't start till tomorrow.

I have always contemplated it, especially a year or so after I had my son in Feb.2006. But what really did it was two things... #1. I was in a pretty bad car accident 2/21/14 and it messed up my neck and lower back. I have bulges from my L3 to my S1. Also a few in my neck. All my Doctors have said, I need to slim down. #2. My son, Brent, has Aspergers and is of course a very honest child. He has brought up my weight and asked me why I'm so big/fat. I always keep in mind that he is autistic and i don't take much offense. But on my Daughters 4th birthday (4/28/14) my evil B!%<# of a mother in law, had the gusto to say to my son , " it's lucky you take after and look like your dad, you don't want to be fat and UNPRETTY , like your mother!" My husband was soooo angry... It was all I could do not to slap the begeezus outta her. By the way my son looks and does take after his mama! Just, skinnier of course! But, that was the final straw. I said to myself "regardless of anybody's opinion, I'm beautiful either way, but it's time to show that "Witch" who's boss!" I'm doing this for me and my kids! Mostly me!!! The scheduling wait is killing me

You look amazing! I can't wait to get mine done! WTG!

I everyone! So I'm from Las Vegas,NV and my dr is Dr. Umbach... I've seen, heard and read so many amazing stories of all different kinds. I had my First Appointment on Wed. 5/27/14, by crazy chance (someone cancelled) and I got my call to get in. I originally was scheduled for 7/9/14. So, I did all the pre approval with insurance and went over the financial stuff. I did my labs, EKG, met the amazing nutritionist, and met the Doc. Currently working on a Co-Morbidity. I am 6'0 and weigh 288 as of my first weigh in. My BMI is 39 and being with (BCBS) they require a co-morbidity if under 40BMI. However, my Dr didn't seem to think it'd be an issue, seeing as I have lower back issues. Which happened to be aggravated and made worse based on a car accident I was in on 2/21/14. I'm reading some threads and kinda getting worried... :/ I hope I don't get caught up cause I'm not "FAT" enough! Holy Cow, that'd be a first LOL. The receptionist, Ruth, is a sweetheart and was shocked I already have 3-4 appointments scheduled. She says they're really working me in. CROSSING FINGERS THAT THIS MEANS ITS GOOD!!! Soo excited and anxious to schedule the big day! Nervous as well... Also excited to meet people just like me on here. It's so nice to feel " Not Alone" in this cruel world. Good Luck ladies and gents!
