My name is Christy. I am 23 years old and recently married (May 24th, 2008
) I have been a chubby girl all my life. I suffered through a lot of torment thorughout my school years. When I graduated High School I weighed only 190 lbs. Soon after High School i learned that i had a disease called poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS. PCOS causes a lot of things, among them is obviously obesity, and fertility problems. I then found out that I had sleep apnea after getting failed through a semester of college because I kept falling asleep. After sleep apnea came my thyroid problem. Along with dyspnea (shortness of breath) and borderline diabetes. I am currently already on diabetes medicine for my PCOS so diagnosing me with diabetes would be difficult. I have reached a depressing 336 lbs. I have been depressed for so long because i've just been getting heavier. Nothing i try works. I've done weight watchers, i've done the carb thing, i've been put on several diet pills with no avail. My previous insurance company (Anthem BCBS) absolutely refused to cover the surgery. When i recently got my new insurance through my job (AultCare) i learned that they do cover it only if it's medically necessary.
My reason for wanting the surgery is simple. I want to be healthy, i want to live a normal life. I DON'T WANT TO BE MADE FUN OF OR STARED AT ANY LONGER!!! I want to be able to have children with my husband and have my children grow up in a healthy home. My husband is absolutely fine with any decision i make and backs me 100% He even said that he would help me excercise!!! I want us to have a better life together. I'm not doing this for anyone but my own self.
