Just a little note
on March 29, 2008 10:10 am
    Wow I am so impressed by all of the support that I have been getting the past to days.  For someone who has been avoiding people for a long time it is incrediable how it feels to open up tp every one.  One day I will right my story then you will understand the hinding part of me.  
Let me claraify something for you so you do not think that I have an awful doc.  He said that he would not do a gastric bypass, but did say that he wants me to have the VGS done and he is going to work to get it done for me.  I am just a super worrier.  Have been that way for years.  
I have every faith In God and Dr. Davis.  God is my all time hero, and I will add the doc to that very small list if he can pull this off for me.

Just me again...

Oh just great

  Ok, well yesterday was my appointment with Dr. Davis.  Let me tell ya'll he was an awsome dr.  But I feel really sad right now.  It seems that he does not want to do a gastric bypass because of all the hernias that I have had and the one that I have currently.  To many problems can occur.  He suggested that I have the VGS done.  Which is fine by me.  My only problem is I am really worried about the insurance.  Like I have said before I have great insurance but seeing as how most of them reject this type of surgery, it has me scared that I may never get the surgery done.  Doc says that I will continue to have the hernias until the weight comes off, and I am miserable with having had to have these repaired every year or so.  This is #4 and I am sick of them.  So now I have to go and seek out all my old sergeons and get the paper work sent to the doc.  That is not a problem just feel it might be a waste of time for them and me if the insurance says that they are not in no way going to pay.  
So any way that is where I stand at present point in my journey to weight loss surgery.  
But I'll not give up and with prayers and my faith that God will see me and this through I know I will prevail some how.  

Gods Blessings to all who come to read this.  

Just me!!!!

Six Days
on March 22, 2008 7:36 am
 Thumbs Up   Six days until I go and see Dr. Garth for my very first time.  Of course Orrientation does not count in my book.  I am so very excited and nervous at the same time.  I just know that everything is going to happen the way God wants it to happen.  I am so greatful to have him in my life.  

Hugs,

New to the game
on March 13, 2008 1:16 pm
well let me begin by saying that I am new to the site.  I am a mother of two adult sons and have been married for 20 years now.  19 of those years I have been what they now call super morbidly obese.  Wow, what a way to think of yourself.  
I have also had 3 hernia operations in the past 6 years and this past October my PCP  tells me she wants me to have a gastric bypass done before the now 4 hernia is repaired.  
I have also had a hard time of getting around the past three years.  I have had chronic back pain and my feet hurt all the time from trying to do any type of activity.  Needless to say I have become a home body  beacuse I donn't want to get out in public for fear of stares and needing to constantly take breaks when we (my family and I ) go to do things together.  Even family functions have been a nightmare for me these last few years.  I feel that I am an out going person but hate the feeling that I am being condemded for being over weight.  

I am hoping to have wls as soon as I can.  I do have an appointment with Dr. Garth Davis on 3/27/08 and I am praying that all goes well.  
I was ahead of the game, because before I even went to orientation I had already found the things I needed form my insurance co.  UHC.  Now it is just up to the Dr.  

I have been coming to the site for the last month and reading the fourms and really feel that this is a great site for people like me and all the over weight people out there in the world.  I also finally built up the courage to join.  See the thing for me is that I have always been a loner type person because I had a rough up bring and find it hard to trust others not judge me.  It is hard because even my own parent did just that when I was in high school.  

I am not trying to get my self to look like a super model just feel better about my self and be able to go on the long walk that I have been craving for years.  

So now here I am I have joined the league of men and women who are teying to get the surgery and who have had it done.  All I can do now is leave it in Gods hands and pray that all goes as I pray they will...
