Im currently 309 and I haven't got a date yet. I've been approved for the surgery. I have to have a EGD before I can schedule a date. I've been overweight all my life. I have had my ups and downs with being overweight. I've never been ashamed of me. I have had some disappointments but never ashamed of me. I love who I am. Sometimes its uncomfortable being overweight but the most part Im doing something about it. I have been considering the surgery now for about 2 years and finally the time is right ( The lord has given me comformation I've been approved). I had my ups and downs about the surgery but now my mind is kinda made up. The only problem Im having is I dont want to look sick. I think Im a cute peson now. I dont want to look like a prune afterwards. My family are behind me now. At first they wasn't they didn't want me to look different. I have to do this for me. Im really motivated to do this.
I went for consultation maybe 1year ago at another doctors office I was convinced then this is what I want to do. I had insurance issues so I had to put it off until I met certain criterias. I try to do other things to lose the weight because I couldn't have the surgery when I really wanted it to. I try fasting, zenical, slimfast, atkins, you name it I tried it. Yall no what Im talking about. I lost 10 gained back 20. Oh my god Im tired of the lose weight quick stuff. I got digusted with the wait and see stuff I needed to see results now.
I decided that I was going to give it another try. I went to my doctor and asked him would he give me a letter of support( my previous pcp wouldn't do it). He said yes I will. He had only been my doctor for 2months and was like yes. I was relieved. I said to myself its going down. I do medical billing I had received a news letter from my insurance company saying the criteria to have the surgery has changed. What it changed to I met. I asked one of my closest friends if she was interested and she said yeas. I said we can do this together. So we got things to rolling.
I immediately set up a appointment with ABMI. I had my psych evaluation before I had my cosultation. I had my consultation with the doctor and was really satisfied. I liked him from the start it was really friendly, caring , concerned. You can tell he wasn't just for the money he was for me being healthy and thats really what I liked. I want to be healthy thats my reasons for doing this. Like I said I was approved and Im just waiting to have the EGD. Once thats done then Im off and rolling.
See it wasn't in gods plan for me to do this when I wanted to. Everything happens in Divine Order. Im sure when its all over I will be pleased with me. Thats all that matters to me. Im not scared right now Im just waiting patiently for a date. May god bless and keep you all. i will keep u all posted.
