I'm with you!! Only one more month to weigh in with my PCP. I've got my consult, nutrition and psych eval all scheduled for May 10th!! I'm both nervous and excited.

Hi Becky, You are brave...the only woman in a house full of men!! ha ha ha!! It's nice to 'meet' you. My name is Deb. I live in the Tampa area. I'm a 38 year old English teacher in a Dept. of Juvenile Justice program. I am currently on month 4 of my 6 month approval diet. I am married to a fantastic man (a tropical fish farmer) and have no children (just the ones I teach). Congrats on having a surgery date. Good for you. Good luck! Deb:thumbup:

Have you thought about approaching your teacher's union? They are there to help make sure that your principal follows your contract. I teach in FL and 'duty free lunch' has always been an issue. My hubby doesn't understand that I usually have about 12 minutes for lunch after dropping off and picking my middle schoolers off! Hang in there! Deb

Wow!! Your story gave me goosebumps. What an inspirational post. Thanks so much for sharing and congrats on all the wonderful and positive changes you've made! :thumbup:

Congratulations!!!

Just curious...have any of you been banded by Dr. Jessee in the Tampa bay area? I went to one of her seminars and was very impressed. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with her and her staff? Thanks!! Deb :tongue_smilie:

I just looked at your pictures and you look great!! Keep up the good work.

Does your surgeon have a Dr. they can send you to for your psych eval? Just curious, what insurance do you have?
