Had my son at 40 and it has been impossible to get the weight off. I am so excited to embark on this journey and even more excited to get back to a comfortable place and be able to keep up with a toddler... it is no joke at 43!

Good, Bella, Good! Keep us all posted. You'll do great!

Thank you! Very excited to embark on this journey to my 'rebirth' LOL.

I know how you feel. I have a 3 year old at 38 so getting the weight off has been huge. Good luck to you!

You must be so busy with your little guy! I see you're from B-Lo; I am too but plan to go through Kaleida Health at Buffalo General as they take my insurance. Where are you having yours?

Hi there neighbor!!! I am going to Dr. Caruana at Synergy Bariatrics. My insurance would only pay if it was done at a Bariatric Center of Excellence and I know so many ppl who went to him and did very well. Dr. Caruana used to operate out of Sisters but on January 1st of this year he started operating exclusively out of ECMC. They built him his own OR suite and the unit we are recovering in is like a resort! It is going to be like a vacation! (that is what I am hoping at least!)

Good luck Bella, I know how hard it is keeping up with a toddler when you are heavy. I wish I had had this surgety 30 yrs ago, it would have been so much better for me and child. This one of the best

hthings that I have ever done for myself. Just remembet after your surgery you need to get up and stary walking this will help the gas dissapate so you don't have gas pains, also drink your Water. Good Luck

That sounds awesome! I just double checked with my insurance (Empire Plan) and Dr. Caruana isn't listed

I totally understand having a 2 year old at 41! My energy level has increased since having surgery and I know my levels will continue to increase as the scale goes down,
