Hi from Miami

[STAR505 0]

I am in the first stages. Seminar set for the 11th. I am so ready to get this done and start my journey. I have tried everything including the cookie diet. I did loose 50 pounds on that and then gained it all back. I have tried to do it again but I just cant.

Heavy since a couple years after I had Chemotherapy for Leukemia in my teens. Now I am 32 with a almost 2yrs old and wanting to have another baby and I dont want my son's classmates to tell him "your mom is fat" when he goes to school. I have severe sleep apnea so motherhood, wifehood, and a fulltime job do not equate with exercise.

Anyone from Miami or seeing Dr. Anthony Gonzalez let me know how this process works. I have avmed insurance.

Hi. I am in orlando and after two years of appeals I am going to self pay. My surgery is on feb 23. I did go thru the whole seminar. I just finished all my psy,cardio, gastro and endocrine evaluatios and testsm I start my liquid diet on the 16th. I am on blood pressure meds and diabetes meds. My mom had a stroke at 53 and my dad had quadruple bypass sugery at 60. I was 274 lbs now at 258 just trying to get used to liquids and exercising everyday. I am ready for my life change. I also have two kids and know how hard it is but for the first time in my life I have to put myself first for all of our sakes. Let's keep in touch.
