Hello,, My name is Pam..I'm 54 and I live in Minnesota.. This is my second time with weight loss surgery.. My first time I had the lap band but had to have it removed due to slippage. This time I'm getting Bypass surgery,,that is if my insurance approves it. I'm just starting this journey so need all the help I can get.. I'm a mom of 5 adult children and I also have 9 grandkids. I want to be around for them all and that is the main reason why I want this surgery so I can be healthy and active for them.
