Trying to change my life
Nov 04, 2010
Hello, my name is Crystal and I am from KY and I have a 8 year old son and I am in the progress of trying to change my life. I am 25 years old and my highest weight has been 343.6 and I started this process in Jan 2010 with a surgeon kind of close to my home but I wasn't comfortable so I switched to a bigger hospital that was accredited and they was so nice to me on the phone and during the seminar. I switched to them in like Feb the end of it or the beginning of March 2010 and they made me aware of that I had to see a dietitian and my family Dr for seven consecutive months without missing a month. SO march was my first month and the drive for the dietitian was about 2 hrs then they started coming here and even with them being so close to home I missed April dietitian appointment because i have a junky car and didn't have a ride, therefore i had to start over in May and I have been going every since to the dietitian and family Dr. I have had all kinds of test done for the pre op work and only have a pap smear to go and then I am done. Nov is my last month with dietitian and family Dr I hope and then they will tell me if I am done with all the pre op test, i think i am but who knows cause there is so many test, but its a good thing that they see if i am healthy enough to handle the surgery or not. Then hopefully at the end of this month Nov. they will send in to see if I get approved through my insurance or not. I pray all the time that i get approved because i am to young to be hurting like this physically i ache all over and have no energy and have high blood pressure and sleep apnea and asthma so i need this surgery for my health and to live a longer healthier life with my son and family. I should have an answer by the end of Dec 2010 I hope, I cant wait i am so nervous about the insurance company, if they only knew me personally they would know that i want this surgery to help me and to use it as a tool to change my lifestyle and make my lifestyle more healthier and like so many that has had it that needed it for all the right reasons I too have good reasons for the surgery, I want to become healthier because at 25 i shouldn't have the health problems that i do and my Dr's says that it is the weight that is causing me all of these health problems and I know if I had the surgery that it would be the tool that I need to help me change my lifestyle and health for the better. so everyone that reads this pray for me that i get approved for this surgery and that all goes well if i do have it and that i can have a second chance at life and that i have a healthier life for me and my son and my family.
