The Decision

Jul 12, 2012

Yesterday I made the decision to have weight loss surgery.  A friend recommended this website which she has used after having weight loss surgery.  She said it was very helpful for her. 

The decision to have surgery has been one that I have considered for a very long time but my insurance would never pay.  Luckily my insurance company has started a new program in which I am on a weight loss program for 6 months and if I still want surgery it will be authorized if I meet criteria.  I'm sure I will meet the criteria. I have sleep apnea, diabetes, mild heart failure, neuropathy and depression.  I'm almost at my highst weight at 280 pounds.  My highest is 284.  I'm one month into the program and had lost about 10 pounds all of which I've gained back over the past 10 days.  I'm regrouping today. 

I hope that I can look back at this blog entry 17 months from now at 150 pounds.  That is my goal and I have a very long road ahead of me.  I'm scared of the health risk with surgery and know without it the risk are not going to improve much, if at all. 

Dear God, help me follow the rules and remain dedicated to my health.  7-12-2012
