Paula C.
I, like most of you, have been overweight most of my life. I think I 
was normal for about 20 minutes once upon a time. I get so frustrated with myself. I feel like this is the only area of my life that I don't have in control and I hate that about me. I just don't want to spend another minute of my life the way I am today. I am blessed with 2 beautiful children and a great husband who loves me as I am. My husband made 1 life changing comment, and that was my wake-up call. He said "I would feel really cheated if I don't get at least 30 years with you." So, with that, I have done my initial consult, my nutritionist visit, & gall bladder ultrasound. I am looking to get my Psych eval. and bloodwork done this week and then off to insurance approval we go! I must admit I am very nervous about that part. It took me so many years to decide to do this that I would be very upset to be rejected by 
insurance. Based on what I have read, my insurance company (cigna) is not easy to work with, so that worries me. I read this website constantly, looking at the before after pictures and reading everyones stories (on a daily basis) with what little free time I have . I just can't wait to be on the losing side! Wish me luck! I would love to hear from anyone.
