The hospital I work for has excellent benefits, but refuses to pay for gastric bypass, regardless of medical necessity, so I am borrowing the money to have it done. I have finally convinced myself that I am worth the price of a small car--took me a long while to get to that point. I'll be having an open procedure, and will be coming home alone after surgery, which has me feeling apprehensive. I hope to make friends here, so as to have some support before and after surgery.
Are you willing?

Good for you...I thought the same thing about comparing surgery to buying a car. If I wasn't covered, we would've bought another car (my surgery)

I like your avatar name...any correlation to Lady Diana? Just curious. I love Lady Diana. I remember staying up late to watch her Royal wedding live.

Enough of my jibber-jabbering...welcome to the forum.
