Guest guest Posted August 19, 2000 Report Share Posted August 19, 2000 Hi everyone! I joined this list last night, and you seem pretty active, so I'll just jump in and introduce myself... My name is Robin, I live in southwest Florida, am 26 yrs old, married with two boys, ages 1 & 4. In my 'spare time' I sing, scrapbook, and enjoy my family. A few years ago I researched gastric bypass surgery and even visited a surgeon and was approved by my insurance company.... in the time it took me to start saving for the $1000 I had to come up with to get the surgery scheduled, I chickened out. It just seemed too invasive for me. I started thinking about it again lately, and in my search on the web I found you all! Now, I've had laproscopic surgery before (had my gallbladder removed a few years ago), so this seems do-able now! I'm excited about it, the prospect of being thin and getting more out of life, seems like a dream. So I guess what I need to do now is first visit my doctor and let him know what I'd like to do, then I'll fill out the online form and wait to see what my insurance company says. I have different insurance now, so I'm not sure what they'll say. OH, I am 5'8 " and weigh 250lbs... I looked up what my BMI would be, and I think it said 38.something.... :::sigh::: Anyway, thanx for reading all that! Hope to get to know you all! ~Robin MGB wanna-be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
