Well this is my fist post I am very new to the site and have been researching my surgery and working towards it since November of 2016, I know that compared to other stores and video's that I have heard, my process is short amout of time. I have great insurance because I work for the state that I live in so luckily I did not have to go through a weight lose program or see a Nutritionist for a certain number of visits I have struggled with weight for most of my adult life and I have losted and gained weights over the years and I find as I get older it gets harder for me to jump on a diet and lose 20-40 pounds like i'm use to.... Plus a lot of the methods that i've used could have crazy side effects and with my mom recently being treated for breast Cancer I am no longer willing to take those risks I want to stay on track and live a better healthier life. I look forwards to hearing from you ...many blessings
