! I am beginning the process of getting insurance approval to undergo the bypass surgery. I also happen to be the twin of whitelion who is a member here and is half way to her goal weight. I am excited for her and I can not wait for my turn. My husband and I really want to see this happen. It is amazing to have the love and support that I do both in my spouse and in my family. I will keep in touch regarding my progress.
Glad you finally made it to here. There are so many wonderful people and so much great information to be learned here.
