Hi! My name is Jenn I am a single mother, career woman, and full time student and I have struggled my whole life with my weight. I don’t know what its like to be a normal healthy weight. I do not know what its like to feel full of energy. I don’t know what it’s like to buy clothes off the rack and have them fit well. A story I am sure you have heard a million times over.

Those and many other things are why I have started on this journey. Today marked the first day of a new beginning for me. I had my first appointment today with Dr. Jamal and his team, Debi, Amy, and Lynn. All wonderful people and very helpful to make sure I understood what was being given to me and answered all my questions.

I now realize that this could and possibly will be a long process. I am however completely committed to seeing this through right down to the very last pound and inch.  I now know that my insurance company requires that I have six months of documented weight loss supervised by a physician and I need to have a psych evaluation.  This gives me a new time line to get all of my ducks in a row and get things organized so that when I do submit my letter to my insurance company it won’t come back denied. I am shooting for a surgery date somewhere between February and April of 2010.

I also made sure that because I am moving to IL in July that I could come back to Dr. Jamal to have the surgery done. I asked Debi and Lynn the same thing and was told all three times that I could. As it is less than a 4 hour drive I would have no problem coming back for the follow up appointments.
