Thanks to Ellie for being the first one to pop into my inbox from this list. Congrats on your 55 pound loss!
I have the seminar on June 13th. I have been on the Portsmouth Naval Hospital list since March, after attending their seminar with hubby. I was originally going to wait, since I had asked hubby to take another position here so I could have the surgery done. He asked me not to wait, so that we would not have to be seperated next year due to work assignments and such. I was touched that this now bothers him (he was a Marine before and absent a lot early in our marriage), so I agreed to not wait for PNH.
I was reminded I could swich to Standard and try a local doctor. The Obesity Help Virginia Board was great and recommended Dr. Clark for my area. I switched and made my seminar appointment the same day. heh. I just hope things go smoothly and Tricare approves me. I stand 4' 11.5" and weigh 240 pounds. My knees and ankles hurt daily. I have stress incontinence and its become worse over time. My BMI is 48.6. I am anxious about the approval, but trying to be hopeful!
So far I have given up caffeine (Im at almost 3 months free now) and today I ended carbonated drinks. Trying differant Crystal Light and sugar free beverages for variety.
Just wanted to say hello. I signed up yesterday for this group.
