A little bit about me

Just in case anyone's interested LOL --
I don't know how to start this so will just give it a stab and see where it leads me.
I'm 35 years old, grew up in the PNW and have lived in Pittsburgh for almost 3 years not. I am NOT looking forward to another winter here. I've been divorced almost half my life -- weird to say that at this still tender age but true.
I was banded 5 years ago and 3 months later was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a bilateral mastectomy and 4 months of chemo during which I gained a whopping 3lbs. I fought my way throug some plateaus and managed to lose 100lbs total before my band slipped.
I've gained most of that weight back and was scheduled for a revision to RNY last week when my insurance company denied me coverage. I've hired an attorney to help me with the appeal and am confident I'll get UHC to cover this procedure and hopefully before the end of the year.
Ooooh, ooooh let's not forget that I finally got my breasts reconstructed last year -- I can't wait to finally lose some weight so that they look more proportionate. I didn't want to go too big now 'cause I am not going to remain 260lbs forever no siree!!!
So that's it for now, I'll come back later...
