Megan N.
So my name is Megan. I'm 22 years old and live in Germany with my husband of almost 4 years. He's stationed over here for the next two years and we've been here for two years. That almost feels like I'm writing some kind of personal add lol like will you be my friend here's my stats LOL
When I came here and went to the doctor for the first time to get some BC a totally different conversation came up that I wasn't expecting nor had it ever been brought up with me before. He said "Megan, your overweight" Almost like he thought that I'd be surprised by him saying it. It's obvious...it's been a struggle my whole life. I know that in the past couple years it's gotten out of control but I never felt like--holy shit I'm huge. I tend to never look in a full length mirrior I always just take face pictures of myself rarly full body but it's never been something that I've every been made to feel bad about. My family has always loved me and supported me and my husband wants me to be healthy and happy. No one has ever made me feel bad for being a size 24. Even in school I never heard people talk about me or tease me and if they did they hid it well. I'm not saying I've never attacked myself for getting this large I've just never felt that outside influence of being judged.
After my first visit with the doctor he sent me to a nutrionist...I knew everything he was saying I just need to put it in to practice. With the insurence I have through the military it's really hard to have Gastric done overseas....it's a lot easier if your stationed stateside because it is done by american doctors...not here. So he had me all geared up to have my refferal rejected but the next day they called to say I was approved and that I needed to come in Monday and make an appt. Today is Sunday so I'll learn more tomorrow. I'm excited to see if I'm going to be able to have a chance at this.
