I just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself..Im a 23 year old female from san diego..I am married and a mother of a two year old very energentic toddler...I have been overweight as long as I can remember and maybe been my ideal weight for about 6 months then gained more and more...anyways I am excited for my surgery which is 6 months away..I have to show my insurance that I can fail a 6 month supervised diet...to me that is just a waste of time..anyone else have that problem?? any suggestions on how to make this experience the most fullfilling?? I need as much encouragment as I can get..my family is not really saying much, and the hubby does not seem to care.

Welcome!

Bummer that your husband isn't on board with the support. He may just be needing to see your fabulous new figure to notice you've made a life style change. Guys are weird. So are insurance companies. I don't understand the 6 month diet thing either. It's a stalling mechanism so they don't have to shell out the cash for the surgery. Don't they know that by the time we have become desperate enough for surgery we have tried everything else?? duh.

Hang in there and enjoy that beautiful San Diego weather. Good luck on your journey,
