:thumbup:Hi All,

My name is Dawn and I am from PA. I am a 44yo mother of two beautiful girls aged 19 & 9. I have been dieting & overweight all my life. So here I am. My hubby is 44 also & started gaining weight after he gave up active sports.

Hubby & I will visit our surgeon next Thursday for our initial consult. We have Highmark PPO Blue & they require 6 mos of dieting. My BMI is 37 & I have Hypertension. Hubby's BMI is 40; he has sleep apnea & hypertension.

This site is a wealth of info & I will be here often. Thanks to all of you for your help & congrats to those of you who have been successful!

-Dawn

How wonderful for you Dawn that you and your husband are looking into this journey together. Talk about having a great "band buddy"!

Hi Dawn! I am also new to the site. I have spent a good part of the afternoon just hopping from one forum to another. There's just so much good info!

How exciting for you to be going through this with your hubby. Sure will make meals easier! lol
