I have been big all of my life...I have never let my size slow me down. I coach high school sports and I am always on the go. I will be 50 in May and am ready to start living my life for me. I so want to be healthy and active. When I say active I mean to be able to do things without hurting to the point of crying. My weight has caused me a lot of joint pain and my poor old knees are screaming at me every step I take. I have decided to go with the RNY surgery. I know my Anthm Blue Cross has padi for all of my appointments thus far. Hoping this is a sign that they will cover my surgery as well.
I am embarassed to think I have let myself become morbidly obese...115 pounds over weight. Did not even think I was really fat until I saw some recent pictures that my team had taken of me. When I look at the pictures i cry to think...When? Why? and How did this happen to me?
I am praying my surgery will be either in December or January. My surgery will be held at the EMMC in Bangor, Maine and I do not have a preference in choosing a surgeon. I just want who ever can get me in the quickest. I have all of my appointments complete as of Monday Novemer 15, 2010. It is my mental evaluation...after that they told me I will have to wait two weeks to get a surgeon appointment then from there I just want to know how long before surgery.
I am very thankful to this site because there has been some information that is very helpful to me.
Can't wait to be on the LOSERS BENCH!
