I have talked to my insurance company & they gave me the requirements. I meet all the weight requirments. 1st thing I have to do is contact a primary care phycisian & get a 6 month diet program started with montly check ins. I also have to attend a seminar. I will probably go to the one in Kissimmee within the next couple of months. After that I'm allowed to make an appointment with the doctor to discuss the surgery.

A little bit about myself. I have been heavy my entire life. I have been over 180pd since 7th grade. Since I had my child in July of 2008 I have not been less then 275, I'm only 5' tall. For the 1st time my weight is effecting my physical body & blood work up. Socially I have always been a mess but my self esteem is at an all time low. I have tried every diet I can & can't stick with them, or no weight loss occures. Low carb as been my best effect but it is almost impossible to stick to & financial impossible (to do it healthy). I am the queen of excuses, as you can tell. I'm sacred if something isn't done soon I will die way to young. I don't want to do that to my family or myself. I had lost my mother to cancer when I was 15 years old & she was in her 40's. I can't image doing that to my son.
