Wow, where should I begin. Alright, my Story began about 10 yrs ago when I was diagnosed with Sleep-Apnea. At that time I weighted about 280 lbs. As years went by my highest weight grew to 387 lbs. Not a good at all! Back in 2005 my Respiratory Doctor told me that he had a patient who had Wls and that patient no longer had Sleep-Apnea. And he highly suggested that I should try and get the surgery as well. I had been trying to get Wls for over 2 yrs with no success. I had been denied twice over the last 2 yrs. Then I found out I had Hypothyroidism (Under-active Thyroid gland & an overly enlarge thyroid). Then I got my weight down to about 305 lbs. before I had my thyroid removed. Unfortunately once it was removed my weight shot back up to about 342 lbs. So here I am really pushing for Wls.
