Hello, my name is Amanda and I'm 30 years old and weighted 225 when I started my journey back in Oct. of 2007. I live in southeastern Ohio and I had my surgery done by Dr. Canaday at Holzer Weight Loss Solutions .I finally got the ok from my insurance after jumping through hopes to have my surgery done. I had my surgery just 4 days ago and doing great. A little sore but it is surgery.:thumbup:
