Default Hello from pa....
Hi my name is Marvin and i currently reside in pa. i am here because i was told by my back surgeons that i cannot get the surgery i need (disc replacement or fusion) to relieve my back pain till i lose 100 pounds. I just came from my 1 st appointment with the bypass doctor and was told that i am a candidate for the surgery and to go ahead and check with my insurance about coverage details.I signed up here because i have come to find out that forums hold a wealth of info and i am here to absorb..

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Hi Marvin! Welcome! Yes, I have found that I learn a LOT from this Forum. I honestly don't know how I would've made it these last 9 months without this place. Best of luck to you on your weight loss surgery journey. Sounds like you have very good motivation and I hope you meet your goal as soon as possible.
