My name is Cathy Morrow. I live in Lenoir, NC. I just turned 45 (ohh I don't like saying that) I am 5 feet tall, weight 216.5 lbs. and have a BMI of 42. I have 2 grown children, a daughter that just turned 28 on the 22nd and a son who is 20. I have 3 grandchildren ages 9, 5 & 3 months. I have been a member of this site since March, I lurk a lot, post some when I'm not in the mist of one of my let's feel sorry for Cathy times because of wanting this MGB so bad. I'm still trying to get insurance approval, but if I don't I will save and self pay (gives me time to try and stop smoking and be smoke free for a good while before surgery) I've got most of my packet done I still need the dreaded pap test. I have my PCP approval, but there are tests he wants to run before he writes out his letter and releases my medical records and physical results (stress test, EKG, blood work) so he said to wait until my Ins. approves me, so as not to waste money for test. ( I don't think he realizes I will self pay if I have to) Well, I don't guess you expected this novel in response, I'm sorry it's so long. Oh yes, my sister Kim had the MGB on May 12th, she has lost I think around 37 lbs. and is doing great!!!!!!!
