Well I have been a little chubby all my life. I am short,l 5'1" and was very atheletic as a child, but after graduation I gained the freshman 15 and then some, and never really stopped gaining weight. I kind of plateaued for a few years but started gaining again about 2 years ago. I went thru a very bad relationship and turned to food for comfort. Then when I finally got out of that I decided to make some better life choices and quit drinking and smoking, and gained MORE weight. Finally after multiple attempts at weight loss I decided to look in to surgery. After going to the informational seminar, attending support groups, talking to people who have had it and doing my own research I decided that it would be a good option for me. I feel like I could possibly lose some weight, but definately not all of it, and I am concerned I would either put it back on, or revert to my teenage years when I suffered from anorexia/bulimia. Those years really screwed up my head for a very long time and I am still suffering the consequencs. So I have gone through all of the pre-op requirements and have been denied by my insurance company (Aetna) twice, I am so frusturated right now but know that I can't give up. Not sure where to turn and getting this written and out of my head sure has helped, so thanks for reading it.
