my oldest son eats alot but he does alot of sport.He is 12 and i think hes just going through a growth spurt(i hope). my youngest daughter is a little pudding and i hope she loses it and its only puppy fat like my mum used to say to me....but mine never went away. I have been overweight all my damn life and im sick of it i dont want my 4 children going through what i have been with weight issues, been picked on called every name under the sun. I want them to be healthy and live a happy normal life but im not sure if that will happen because of my weight and there dads bot exactly skinny but not as big as me.

hello everyone......i have private health insurance but my surgeon has told me i need to pay about $3000 out of my own pocket. Did u all have to pay this out of pocket expense too? Im just a bit confused as to why i have to pay this.I dont know if its the surgeon charging more or if this is what everyone has to pay. Thanks Fee
