Update Well Sept has come and gone. My surgeons office informed me in Sept that he will no longer be doing bariatric surgery (the hospital or some higher ups won't approve it because he doesn't have enough patients). I finally decided that someone up there is telling me not to have this surgery. I don't have significant co-morbidities and I do have 5 kids, so I decided finally that I just can't do this anymore. Emotionally it's too hard to keep pushing for this. I just found out too that my husbands company is changing all the insurance around, so with my luck, that would have screwed things up again. So, I've lost 13lbs on my own so far and I'm just going to keep plugging along.
