Just Joined the Group

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Though I have been on this journey for a long time, I've just joined

this group. The web site has been a tremendous help to me,

especially in helping my husband to understand why such a drastic

measure is necessary. He's been thin all his life, need I say

more? :-)

Anyway, I wanted to have this surgery a year ago but had to wait

until this year due to the fact that I was on Interferon combination

treatment for Hepatitis C. I am happy to say the treatment is over

and the Hep C is gone. Praise God. Took my last shot on 1/2, app't

with the surgeon was 1/21, ins.co. finally had all paperwork by 2/6,

I was approved on 2/16, pre-op class was 2/23 and my surgery date is

3/8 at 9:30 AM. The last time I was this excited was on my wedding

day.

Well, I just wanted to introduce myself, stop lurking and start

losing. Thank you Diane and Co. for starting this group.
