kat77 63 Posted December 6, 2012 Hello, My name is Kat. I am 35, married, and a mom of two. I have been dealing with weight issues since 1st. grade. Up and down. I finally made the decision to have the surgery because I have several health problems and am in constant pain. So I am hoping that losing this weight will reduce it. Anyways I am looking forward to getting to know you and hope we can all support eachother. They say that support is one of the most important keys to keeping the weight off. Thanks for listening, Kat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kat77 63 Posted December 6, 2012 Oh I forgot to say where I was in the process. I am waiting for approval. I have all my testing and clearances out of the way. I am just hoping for and approval. I am trying to bpas the mandatory 6 month weight watchers program because I have trie it several times and just can't be there regularly because of my disabilitys. Hopefully they will listen to the doctors recomendations. 1 agirlofaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kss31 103 Posted December 6, 2012 Welcome! I didn't find this site until after surgery so u r already one step ahead of the game. Waiting for approval is hard, but if u have to end up doing the six months, I did, it's not impossible. I am 5 weeks post op and the first two are the worst and then light appears at the end of the tunnel. Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for ur approval!
