Oct 29th w Dr Halmi! Cant wait to be on loser bench!!

Yay that is SO exciting!!!! I am going to check out the support group this week and hopefully make a consult with him as well! I've been to Fair Oaks for the seminar with Dr. Moazzez he was great, but want to check all my options so to speak! What's Dr Halmi's bedside manor like, I've heard great things about both! If you don't mind me asking can you share your timeline with me and are you self pay or insurance? I will be self pay bc our insurance is privately run by my hubby's company and a strict no bariatric surgery clause :/ would love to follow your progress! Best of luck to you, hoping I'm not too far behind ya
