A memory that will stay with you i am sure.

I am also new here, Hi everyone. I am scheduled to go to a seminar in a cpl weeks, My insurance has already told me that this surgery will be covered. (that was my first step)  My PCP is sending me to Bernita Bernstein, M.D. in Topeka which is about an hour away. Just Beginning my journey & wanting as much info as i can soak in even before i meet my surgeon. I also have the support of my family and friends. It seems we have alot in common. 

Debbie, I am so glad that you responded to my post.  I actually work in Olathe so the drive doesn't bother me.  I have been to the Olathe YMCA and I really like the facility.  I would love to get together and go to class with you on those days.  I only work part-time so I'm pretty flixable too.  If you want I can meet you there just let me know?  Is that class that your going to is it a low intensity class?  I won't be able to go Mon. evening though I have a WLS support group in Lees Summit at 7pm so maybe Wed.? I am curious you said you had your first appt. with Dr. H last Oct. but didn't have your surgery until March was that your choice or were they really that far behind in scheduling surgery?  I hope I don't have to wait 5 months to get surgery I have already waited a long time to do this.  I will have my 6 mo dr. supervised diet completed on Oct. 6th so that will be out of the way.   I want to go to the MO Board reunion in Branson but  I would have to make it a day trip because of my dogs and it's a little far to drive there and back in one day so I'm still not sure yet what I'm doing are you going?  I look forward to hearing from you again.  Take care.

I live in Johnson County and I am in desperate need of an exercise buddy.  I have to lose 35 lbs before surgery due to a few health issues.  If you would be interested in exercising a few days a week please let me know.  I have tried exercising on my own but I think I would do better and be more consistant if I had someone to exercise with?   Thanks, 

Thank you for responding, I was wondering when somebody might. Thank you for your advice. I just never understood how I could pay so much money at be only losing a pound a week. Billy Fuschino
