Well i seen the surgeon for my 1st consult and now im just waiting for approval from my insurance company.  While im waiting im tryin to find the money to come up with my copay which is roughly $1700.  Im native american , but my tribe wont help because i have a job and live off the rez. which sux but im looking into other options like applying for a credit card and applying for a loan.  I really want this surgery but the only thing in my way is the copay.  I hope things turn out good in the end.  Heres hoping for the best.

Im still goin thru the process of getting approved and tryn to find funds to cover the out of pocket expenses. And its just gettin me down.  I know it takes time but im startin to feel the aches and pains of being this big.  My knee is really hurting and my hip is hurting from me putting all my wieght on it to keep my knee from hurting more.  i just hope i find the out of pockets money i need 4 the surgery because i need this for myself and my kids.  I would like to live a long life and ba active for myself n my kids.  I don't like being tired all the time. I hope to get some good news soon.

My Story

My name is Kelly and I'm 35.  I have been overweight my whole life.  I have been struggling with my weight my whole life.  I remember i didn't have friends because of my weight.  I would get harrassed and beat up because of my weight.  I have no self-esteem because of my weight.  My weight has been an issue my whole life and i have tried alot of diets, counted calories, starved myself, binge and purge and the list goes on.  I have even tried to take my own life because of my weight when i was younger. its hard to admit that but its true. I havent been suicidal for a long time because i know my life is precious and my 2 kids keep me going.  To alot of people my life seems easy but in reality it aint.  I hate being in public because i am overweight.  I hate the looks i get, the stares, the putdowns, and its hard dealing with that everyday.  To alot of ppl i seem like that happy person but inside i am dying because i know my weight will always be a problem.  My relationships all have been not good because of my weight, my self esteem so low that when im in a relationship that the guy can't handle me, because of my weight.  I don't want my kids to be embarrassed of me when they get older.  My daughter is scared that i will die because i am so big.  I want to be around and enjoy life for my kids.  I want to be able to go outside and run around with my kids and not be scared to be out and about with friends. 
My depression has been all because of my weight,  I have the opportunity to have surgery and prolong my life, but funds keep me from realizing that.  I recently found out that i have high cholesterol, high sugar, respiratory problems, and i will have heart problems.  All these health problems run in my family and most of my family is gone because of it.  I don't wanna be gone, because i have a reason 2 reasons to live and those are my 2 kids.  So I am hoping i can find the rest of the funding i need to have the surgery.  I don't wanna die, i wanna live.
