WELL LET ME START BY SAYING HI TO EVERYONE. MY STORY IS MUCH LIKE EVERYONES ELSES. I WAS AN OVER WEIGHT CHILD, TEENAGER, AND YOUNG ADULT. I STARTED THE WLS JOURNEY IN 2002, AND HAVE RAN INTO ROAD BLOCKS EVER SINCE. EVERYTHING TO THE WAITING LIST AT THE HOSPITAL, CHANGING INSURANCE MULTIPLE TIMES, COMPANY POLICY OF NOT COVERING WLS PERIOD AND JUST THEIR STUPID DEMANDS FOR APPOPRVAL TO DISCURAGE YOU. NOW I HAVE WONDERFUL INSURANCE THROUGH THE HOSPITAL I WORK FOR, SO MY MD FEELS IT SHOULD BE VERY EASY TO GET APPROVED THIS TIME. I HOPE SO I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE LIVING IN THIS HELL, I CALL MY BODY. I AM NOW 30 YEARS OLD AND CAN'T IMAGINE LIVING MY LIFE LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS MY LIFE, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO RUN AND PLAY WITH HIM AND NOT GET TIRED SO QUICKLY. I AM ALSO MARRIED TO A WONDERFULL MAN WHO HAS SUPPORED ME THROUGH THE WEIGHT GAIN THROUGH 15 YEARS, I GIVE HIM ALOT OF CREDIT SEEING HOW BIG OF A BITCH I CAN BE DUE TO MY WEIGHT.
