hanna91 33 Posted February 24, 2015 Hello! I thought I would introduce myself to the group. My name is Hanna and I'm 23. I am at the beginning stage of surgery. Just mailed in my paperwork. I live in st charles mo. I have blue cross blue shield of Illinois so If anyone has any tips for them I'm all ears. I've tried this process before in the diet stage and always got sidetracked. But this year I am motivated to get the surgery and be healthy. Looking for friends to chat with who understand the struggle of this process. Thank you for listening! Can't wait to make some friends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
