Hello...

Hi all! I'd like to introduce (or reintroduce) myself.
I'm Lin, live in Watertown NY and I'm back. I was very faithful signing in every day but then, as we all do, I blew it and stopped. I had bariatric lapband surgery in 2009 and since then I have only lost 12-15 pounds. I have a disfunctional if not totally blown thyroid, and so on March 21st I will be having a revision and having the RNY. I had a bit of a 'disagreement' with my insurance company - they didn't think I needed the revision and I knew I did - and thank heaven my doctor in Saranac Lake NY did too! We had the insurance company reverse its denial! LOL I think that's a first for Blue Cross and Blue Shield! :laugh:
I'm not nervous... I just am a bit confused about what to expect, but hopefully I'll make it through this time with flying colors!
At any rate, I plan to be back here as much as I can to look to you all for motivation. I hate to exercise and the my job keeps me crazy busy -- my husband and I run a plumbing/HVAC company and I own a real estate school -- but I know that is no excuse.
