Lori, Hey, girl. I'm from Birmingham as well. I just had the surgery two weeks ago. I was wondering if you knew of any support groups in Birmingham? I also wanted to ask you about your Tummy Tuck. Did your insurance cover the surgery? I really want to do that when I get down enough and I want to find a good doctor. Any advice on this would be much appricated. Thanks Robin

Dear Lori, I very much enjoyed reading your profile this evening. I was struck with your very mature comment on one of the Q&As and turned to your profile to see who you are...Obviously a warm, compassionate, articulate person. Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us. Best of luck for your surgery in a couple of weeks. Cheers, Katherine

Lori, I was just passing through and I wanted to say thank you for being so candid about your journey. I'm 25 years old and have been heavy all my life and have alot of fears related to what life will be like after WLS. I was so touched by your profile. I can relate to SO many things you said. I'm glad you are doing great! ~ Monique

Hi Lori! My name is Jennifer and I, too, have PCOS. I am having Open RNY on August 7, 2001. I am hoping that getting the weight off will help with the symptoms of PCOS as well as the symptoms I'm suffering as a result of the weight itself. I would love to "talk" to you about PCOS/WLS if you're interested. Email me when you're up to it, if you'd like! Keep up the good work and I look forward to joining you and all the others on the other side in two weeks! Jenper72900@yahoo.com :)
