Sofficial 162 Posted February 7, 2014 Oh wow that's great, so your not too far behind me. Did you have to do a six month supervised diet? What's ur next step? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greensleeve 457 Posted February 7, 2014 Long story...I did weight watchers for nine months and then decided to do surgery. I went through three appeals to get my insurance to approve Weight Watchers, and in that time I almost gave up, thought about having surgery in Mexico about ten times! I have to get an endoscopy and get a negative nicotine test and then do the nurse education thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greensleeve 457 Posted February 7, 2014 Hi Theresa! Do you guys go to the support group? So funny story. First time I went in there was a woman in the waiting room with me, we started talking and she said she was having a revision. I told her I had started at Des Peres but I hated it and she said "well this is Des Peres." I just looked at her and thought "wait what???" And then I said "no this is DePaul!" And she said "oh yeah. Well I have ADHD too." Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theresa19 2 Posted February 7, 2014 That's so funny!! I haven't gone to the support group yet but plan to start going. I am hoping it is helpful. Do you like it so far?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
