journeyofme 2 Posted May 18, 2013 Hi! I am so happy to have found this place. I am just getting started. I have a seminar on May 22 and my first surgeon appointment is May 30. I am so terrified and excited at the same time. I have a long way to go but I'm ready. I'm at my highest weight ever right now. Around 390, but I have been here before. I lost almost 100 pounds on Atkins in 2010 and got pregnant and gained it all back. Weight has been a lifelong struggle for me an I'm ready for a permanent solution. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedom1 3 Posted May 18, 2013 Hi there. Who is the surgeon you will be seeing for your surgery? Going to Mexico? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
journeyofme 2 Posted May 18, 2013 I am in North Carolina. Dr. Fernandez (Fuzz) at Baptist will be doing my surgery. My insurance doesn't require anything other than a psych exam and the doctor saying that I am a good candidate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
