Waiting Impatiently for Insurance approval!

Sep 14, 2011

Im 46 years old and if I dont get this surgery Im sure I will die before Im 50. I am now 324 pounds but was at 344 just a few months ago. I try not to gain and I do try to lose but dont seem to lose more than 20 to 25 pounds before the struggle just is to much and I give up. I have been overweight for most of my adult life, not as much as I am now but still overweight none the less. When I was younger I was verry active so I was able to keep my weight around 230, overweight but a little more healthier than what I am now. then my husband left me and the depression began. I gained more and got up to 275 and vowed I would never hit 300! Then I injured my knees and could no longer work on my feet 12 hour shifts, not a good thing for a fat girl! I met a man that didnt care what size I was and that really didnt help, no reason to worry about my weight anymore it was just too much trouble! Of course that was wrong and now 10 years of carrying all this weight has put a strain on my heart, back, knees and emotionally Im done! This is truly a life or death situation for me, I have to get surgery to be able to live and see my grandbabies grow up! I am so thankful for all the people that have shared their stories on here and the person who told me that she had the surgery and medicaid will cover it with the doctor she used! I had been trying so hard to find some one in Ft Myers Florida to take my insurance and was failing, and then I met Jen and she share her story with me! She was so beautiful I could not believe she had ever been fat, she went home and got a before pic and brought it to me to see. I was so thrilled and inspired from that moment on I was on a mission to get the surgery! So Ive done all the pre testing and I am now just waiting for the aproval to get my surgery date!  Prayin it will be this month, want to lose before Christmas!
