Hello.   I am so looking forward to having surgery and getting healthier.   I am married to a wonderful man and have 2 incredible little boys.  I finally made the decision to look into surgery so that I can be around to see my boys grow up and someday have families of their own.   Our 4 year old was diagnosed with Cancer last year.   After surgeries, radiation and months of chemotherapy, he is in remission and doing great!!!!   It was definitely a wake up call for me though.  I decided that it would be a shame to make it through all of that and then to have me die at a young age.   My mother passed away when she was only 45 years old and I am 36 so it was a very real concern.

I am so pleased with Dr. Glucks office.  They have been great to work with.   My paperwork was recently submitted to our insurance company, but they requested one more visit with my primary care physician to satisfy 6 months of medically supervised weight loss attempts.   I have my last appt. tomorrow and am going to fax the last document to Dr. Glucks off immediately.  I am in a time crunch as my husband's employer is switching their insurance company as of January 1st.   So I am hoping to somehow get approved within a week and still get scheduled for a late December surgery.   Otherwise, I have to wait 'til Jan. 1st to even submit to the new insurance company for approval!

I haven't posted anything else yet, but have been so encouraged reading everyone's stories, seeing before and after photos, etc.....I look forward to joining you all on the other side.
