Hey everyone! I'm so new, I'm still shiny! At least I don't have that 'new car' smell, right?
Anyway, I'm qualified through my insurance for the Lapband procedure, but have just begun jumping through the hoops. I'm from Illinois, and am insured by Health Alliance (secondary -BCBS). I have to complete an "I Can Change" program through my insurance prior to surgery which includes a diet/exercise program (I can do Weight Watchers) for 6 months, so my surgery date will be more like September or October. Either way, I want to get integrated into this community so I have a support structure in place.
So... about me - I'm 31, married for almost 9 years, and have a 3 year old daughter, Cora. I teach high school French and love love love my job. I am also the drama director for our school. I love to travel, and this summer will be taking students on a 10 day tour of Dublin, London, and Paris.
I guess that's a good enough introduction for now... I hope to hear from some of you and connect with you soon.
Best of luck!
Tina
