Surgery Date scheduled for October 6th, 2008. Approved after first letter to insurance company, (Oxford).  My Story I wasn't over weight as a child. Starting yo-yo dieting in my 20's. Never went over ideal weight range, though. At 32 years old I was diagnosed with cancer. Went through one year of chemotherapy folloiwed by 20+ days of radiation. Suffered through all sorts of side effects and complications. Was told I could not have children ---- I have a 3 1/2 year old son! I'm a survivor. Unfortunately, the cancer took some of the fight out of me. : ( *Gained 100 pounds from taking Prednisone, (steroid medicine to fight cancer). Haven't been able to get it back off since.
