Yes, I am from Northford. I have just started in this journey. My Dr. is Dr. Duffy from YNHH. I have attended the seminar, gone for consult for sleep apnea test and go to nutritionist tomorrow. My BMI is only 39.something so I am kind of counting on the sleep apnea test. I have other problems, GERD, plantar faciatis, heel spurs, shin splint, lower back pain so I am basically working and resting at home. I have a wonderful husband who has taken over doing everything. I can do a little straightening up but that is about it. I had seen the nutritionist for about 4-5months in the summer without success and the Dr.'s nurse hopes to bridge that with future nutritional counseling. a problem I see is that I have put on a lot of weight since I stopped seeing her. I have AETNA insurance and they seem to want to deny EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! We'll see. Please tell me about your journey. marilyn
