Hi, I had my very first apt with the nurse practitioner on Tuesday. She says I'm a great candidate for weight loss surgery. I have to complete 6 months of supervised weight loss before my insurance will cover the surgery so Tuesday's apt started the timer . I'm excited to start this journey, I know it will be hard but I am so ready for change! I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm a mom of 2, a 9 year old boy and 1 year old girl. I work full time and run a small side business. I need to lose weight to keep up with my kids body schedules and because i want to teach them healthy eating habits. I've enjoyed reading through different posts and forums, seeing the different struggles and successes. Thanks for letting me be a part of this awesome community! Kirsten

I do have a question for everyone... My Dr has said it's up to me whether I have bypass or sleeve. I have roughly 150lbs to lose. I would appreciate any thoughts, what worked for you?

I'm in Ithaca, about 4 hours from the city. Thanks for all the greetings! I'm really looking forward to starting this journey.

Me too! I have my initial apt with my primary Dr tomorrow and she will refer me to our hospitals center for healthy living. Then the 6 month ins waiting have begins. I'm nervous, excited, and hopeful that it all goes smoothly!! Good luck!?
