Hello, I just got approved today. I'd tossed around the idea for over a year, then signed up for a seminar. Right before the seminar I learned that my employer would be changing insurance companies on July 1st. So, I had to hit the ground running. I had my primary care physician send in the documentation that I'd been trying to lose weight (again) with phentermine, low carb, etc. for the last year. I got all my appointments in- nutrition class, psych eval, Upper GI, Endoscopy, and EKG and Treadmill test. I passed everything- I've been very blessed with good health but my back and knees have been giving me issues and I decided enough is enough. I don't want to take a chance with my health anymore. I was very proactive, prayed and put it in God's hands and my surgery is scheduled on June 27th, one week from today. I'm really excited. I can't wait to work out again without pain. I have one granddaughter who is two and a new one due in September and I want to have energy to visit and enjoy them. I look forward to learning from everybody. I usually am more private about my business but I know I will need support to be successful. So, I am thrilled to find this forum!
