Hi, everyone. My name is Candy and I've just become a member. I've been struggling with my weight all my life but it's been worse after I had back surgery around 10 years ago. I have chronic back pain, costochondritis (arthritis in the chest ribs), diagnosed degenerative disc disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis in the body back at the incision site for my surgery. There's more but I don't want to take up everyone's time listing it all. My primary doctor at Kaiser finally agreed to refer me to the bariatric department. I haven't had my first appointment yet but feel relief from the referral. I plan on being a regular on the board, especially once I'm seen and evaluated by the department. I'll be a lurker till then. There's a lot of good information on this site so I'll be doing a lot of reading and pop in occasionally on some thread. I don't want to be a bother so help me out when I go on too long. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
