I have started the process!!

Jul 24, 2012

I have started the process of going for Gastric bypass surgery. Met with Dr Glass out of Augusta Georgia on July 9Th 2012 and August 1, I go for two appointments one for Dietitian class and the other a weight loss seminar. I will only have two more classes to go and a EGD. I have them scheduled for September. I Hope so much I can have this done in October so I can be well for the holidays. 

To give a little big of back ground Ill tell you a little about me. I am 36, happily Divorced and no children. In 2010 I was diagnosed with MS or Multiple Sclerosis. It hit me like a ton of bricks! I was unbalanced and felt dizzy starting in January of that same year and by May I was in the hospital with severe vomiting and vertigo. The steroids they gave caused me to gain 100 lbs with in 2 years. I was 350 then and starting to lose the weight on my own but after the MS and steroids i bloomed up to 451. The last time i weighted at  Dr. Glass office was the 451lbs. I am unable to move well and unbalance due to the weight with the disease. I know this is my last option or that's how I feel. If there are any of you that have MS and have had Gastric bypass or just had,having or thinking of having gastric bypass please message me of your journey. I am willing to help anyone that would like to know more. Also, have any of you had a lot of saggy skin in the hips? I am wide through the hip area. I'm shaped like a pear. Just curious cause I'm trying to figured out what areas will give the most issues. I'll post more after August 1.

I started in 2005 to try and have the gastric bypass but when i was married the insurance fromhis work in corrections from the state of Georgiaand it didnt cover anything to do with weight loss and denied me but as of now I am covered through medicaid of Georgia and while talking with my dr's insurance person they have assured me im covered. I am praying this will all happen this time and everything will work out please keep me in your prayers! 

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
