Hi Barbara~~~~I just wanted to let you know that I really identfy with you post. I have 2 boys 4 and 4mths. I want to have WLS for all the same reasons and I am so excited to begin my journey. My insurance has already approved and I get my surgery date on Aug 21. I haven't been able to go and do with my kids the way I want to and have missed all the trips this summer, due to my weight and not wanting to even put myself through the misery of trying to walk and ride and swim and all the things they want to do, so it has been easier to stay at home. I pray that your approval and surgery go smoothly and that you will able to enjoy a healthy, active, and rewarding life.
