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..

My surgery is set for next Tuesday and I can't wait to have this weight off of my spine. I've had surgery and eleven epidurals in the past three years! Welcome to TT and you will learn loads from the posters here! April in Sacramento

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.
