Getting Back With the Program
May 22, 2011
It's been almost a year since I started the process of trying to get the sleeve. After feeling defeated from the insurance denial, I began to question if I was doing the right thing. Then I got the phone call in Janurary that my insurance will pay for the sleeve provided I do a three month diet prior to final approval. I didn't know how to feel about the news. I cried from frustration since I had already planned to be losing weight from the sleeve at the time. My husband and I had even considered trying to get pregnant with a second child at the time. I didn't know what to choose. Should I get surgery now and be healthy with a second kid or just go ahead and be big like I was with the first one? Here it is almost a year later and I have decided my health is more important than a new addition to the family. I am in school pursing my bachelor's in Human Services and feel like I need to focus on me and my education right now. I know that if I loose weight I will be able to be more active with my family and with regards to a future career.
