Lisa Koch
trying to get on the losing side
Jan 16, 2008
hello everyone that looks at this, my name is Lisa, I live in Eastern Ky. I have been overweight all my life. I have been looking into weight loss surgery for years. I went to Columbus several years ago and was turned down by aetna.
I got approved for surgery last week, and did my pre-op class this week, being Jan.15th, 2008. it has took over a year to get approved. make sure no matter what you see your family dr. once a month, I missed one month without realizing it and it messed me up by 3 months.
I have 2 sons, 18 and 20, they are my life, them and my niece and nephews.
one reason I want to lose weight it to be able to keep up with Destiny 8 and Avery 5. I am 43 years old and they want me to act like I am 10 and run and play with them, I try but it sure isn't easy. I feel like their grandma most of the time.
I would like to start back in college and finish what I started a few years ago.
I am not married at this time, maybe in the future.
other day someone said, Lisa why are you having this surgery, you know we live to eat, and I said it is to to eat to live, and she said she didn't see it that way, and I told her, yeah I don't weigh 104 pounds soaking wet like you. what could she say to that, lmao.
There is so many things I want to do when i lose weight, go on vacation, go hiking. not be embarrassed when I walk down the street, or sit in a restaurant without being stared at. I have an aunt that is very small and yes she does look at what other people puts on their plate at a place to eat. drives me nuts, when she talkes about them and how much they eat, and there I sit, so I know what she thinks about me, lol.
Well that is enough for now, talk to everyone soon, go to surgeon on the 4th of Feb. and get my surgery date.
