Ok thank you , I guess it depends on insurance regulations and state too ..well I'll keep my fingers crossed . If they don't cover it I'll pay out of pocket I'm desperate

Good luck Brenda28. You will do well. Many of us have had a variety of health challenges, and Bari surgery has been the best choice for us. I'm 70 and retired for a while, and my hope is to be more active again.

Mine is to be more active w my children and my husband

Wishing you all the best! Let us know how it goes with the insurance. Same here Jennah. I just became an RN 2 years ago and already see my career being cut short due to my health. I hate that I don't have the energy or drive to get outside and practice baseball with my son or ride bikes as a family. Doesn't help that I was 100 lbs lighter when I met my husband. He hasn't complained once about my wt gain but I want to be that happy, confident person he fell in love with and it just isn't happening when I can't stand to look at myself in a mirror. The person I think I am is not the same person I see in my reflection or in pics.

I'm down 2 notches on my watchband, and my jeans are really baggy. Almost time for a trip to Goodwill for some transitional clothes.

I love Goodwill!!! I wish they had a trade in program.
